NO LIGHT HERE!

Opportunity to take the Light of Jesus to the streets continues here in Ashford. We are not content to keep that message to ourselves. On Sunday we took to the streets to invite people to our carol service, and by playing carols drew the listeners out from their dinner tables to hear a reminder of what this season is all about. We saw some people in that carol service because of that! This week we started by ministering to the people of South Ashford, especially in the Stanhope area. This is an area to which we are seeking to extend our ministry, and the army has appointed an envoy to develop this. As we walked around the estate you could discern emptiness, you could discern oppression - here the Light of Jesus was being proclaimed. The words of carols, although not associated with everyone expressed the sentimnts - Jesus Christ is Here - Christ is born in Bethlehem! But as we walk into one of the square in that area, all the street lights were out. We expressed how the musicians needed light to play. One lady heard that and replied - there's no light here, we're always in darkness. But Jesus Christ is here! The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light.......Lord, help people to rebuke the darkness, and break through to Your Light.
