Update on progress so far!!!

As one part of WEC UK's mobilising strategy we have developed the use of Bulstrode our hq, Springhead Park House in Leeds, and Portadown in Northern Ireland as "Centres of Influence for Missions" - places where people can come, meet with God, and be inspired for Mission." Part of this process has been the redevelopment of the facilities.

So, where have we got to at Bulstrode? Are we still in the process of redevelopment? Yes, the practical work is ongoing and we are about to embark on the planning process for the next phase. Is this holding us back from praying and working together to fulfil the vision? No ... Bulstrode already hosts many people, all of whom we seek to influence!!! In the last 12 months we have seen over 7,500 visitors to Bulstrode, 1200 staying for at least one night - church events, pastors' retreats, Mission & Me weekends, missions courses, leaders' days etc.

We seek to serve each person that comes through the door, share our heart for the world, and build relationships that we are trusting will lead to many people challenged to pray, send or go!

So we are moving forward ... every available Saturday is now booked until the 9th of July 2012!

Please continue to pray for
~ Personnel and finance to both complete the redevelopment work and run the "Centre of Influence" activities
Inspired ideas for new events that will draw more folk in!
~ Relationships to build and strengthen ... and for the people we make contact with to sense God's call upon their lives for mission.
~ People to be better informed concerning the challenges faced in completing the task of World Evangelisation, better equipped to send and support others and, of course, for more workers prepared to go!

If you have any creative ideas of what we could do, would like to explore partnering with us to run events, or would like more information generally then get in touch!

Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thoughts from a previous incumbent ...

In reference to 2 Tim 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of p o wer, of love a nd of sel f-discipli ne."   Norman Grubb decl are d that; "We are set in our day and generation to be overcomers, not to sail through calm seas but to walk on storms, to replace need with supply, to transform aspiration into realization. The language of defeatism, fear, lack and weakness is not to be in our vocabulary. "Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it. As for these giants, they are bread for us," we say with sturdy Caleb.  We are to act as the men of faith of old; we are to visualize our goal in clear outline; we are to take it for granted that we shall reach it, for we have both the commission and anointing of God?   We lay our plans ,build our organisations, produce our written and verbal pronouncements,  prayer our prayers, do our work, not as those who will fail and fall by the way, but...

Homes I have lived in #3

This year I am celebrating my silver wedding anniversary ... Just for something to do I have begun to sketch all the houses we have lived in during that time. So here is house number #3 On our return to the UK we were faced with the question that faces all people in transition, what next? For us, we were encouraged by our friends to investigate further training and opted to spend a year with Kerygma ministries. We joined with a group of some 20 other people from various different cultures and backgrounds to join the ministry led by Dr Bob Gordon, based at Drayton Hall near Norwich. We spent one year here, between September 1993 and July 1994.   Significant events that took place here included: Suffered reverse culture shock, as I grappled with the transition from life in a mudhut in Africa to life in the UK in a Manor House! (Struggled with the amount of money being spent on a sign that was being placed outside ...

Commitment ... the final hurdle?

"I'd rather go and not come back than not go at all!" I read these words this morning and it inspired thoughts of amazing commitment and willingness to do whatever it takes to get a dream fulfilled. It spoke of an understanding that to progress and move forward there will, in all likelihood, be a price to pay. Progress does not often come cheaply, it takes a dogged determination to be willing to go the extra mile, pay the price, persevere in the face of relentless challenge and all in order to make the breakthrough, take the next tiny step in the right direction or see the completion of a goal or task.  It doesn't speak of procrastination, putting things off until tomorrow, doing it when you can be bothered or when it all falls into place and fits in with your plans. It would be so refeshing to see the whole body of Christ rise up in faith and make that declaration - to determine to complete that which has been entrusted to us - the task of global evangelisation. To s...
