Mission-Net, Go-Fest and you!


                                           

For all those reading this from the comfort of your island retreat here in the UK I wonder if you were aware of what God was doing in Europe over the Christmas and new year period - as he moved amongst thousands of young people, challenging them to more active engagement in His global purposes? Did you feel the afterglow coming across the channel towards us? The movement's called Mission-Net.

Firstly, on behalf of the worldwide body of Christ (as if I speak on behalf of them ;-)) however, a huge thank you for all the staff and team that worked so hard to put together the recent Mission Net European conference and, of course, Evi Rodemann for steering it all. If anyone is interested in reading about what went on, how people were blessed and challenged, how to get hooked into it next year or any other feedback you can read it all here!

Secondly, for those of you who read and think 'Oh, I missed something there!' then yes, you have. I strongly encourage you to put the dates in your diary for next year and take the opportunity to gather with many of your european brothers and sisters and meet with God. To miss it once is unfortunate, to miss it again next year when you now have nearly twelve months notice is just negligence!

Thirdly, for those of you who read it and think either 'I can't wait twelve months!' or 'I wish I didn't have to cross the vast expanse of water that is the english channel to go and 'socialise with the europeans'!' then the good news is that you don't have to - once again this year the GoFest is getting ready to receive you. Read more about that here!

Gofest! Powerful Gospel! Passionate People!

We long for a revival ... Why not here? Why not now? Why not us?

Does God really lead us?

  Often as evangelical believers we talk about the concept of ‘calling’ explaining it along the lines of God speaking to his people, sometimes this is narrowed even to the experience of a special, select ‘few’ and limited in scope to those who are engaging in full-time Christian ministry. The following are some notes I prepared for a talk: Firstly, I would like to say that most Christians would believe that God communicates with his people, and that this may happen in many different ways. What is of utmost importance is that it does happen. We are in relationship with a Living God, who we call Father, and who communicates with us His creation and covenant people.   God communicates in a number of ways and one special way in which He leads and guides his people might be termed a vocation or calling and it’s this particular aspect of His communication I want to focus on.   So what is the calling? Who is called? And what are we called to? The whole i...

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...

Sacred Pathways: Discover your Soul's Path to God - Gary Thomas  When you became a christian did you look around other people's lives and seek to model some of their spiritual disciplines? Did you find that somehow they didn't work for you in quite the same way as they seemed to work for them? Did this lead you to a place of discouragement? Did you think that, somehow, the things that bring such life to other people but don't bring life to you must mean that there is something wrong with you? Or that maybe God doesn't love you as much as He loved those people whom you sought to emulate? These are very real questions that all c hristians probably grapple with at some point. As we grow and mature in Christ we eventually reach a place of liberty where we realise that we are unique and therefore we shouldn't be surprised when our Father deals uniquely with us - and the way we most easily 'connect' to Him is also unique. Or perhaps we find over time th...
