WHAT AN INFLUENCE !

Some months ago we shared how our youth ministries officer needed to go deeper with God, and felt it was time to preach. The influence of that obedience has continued! Following that meeting our senior leaders received a text from one of our 'junior soldiers'. He too, for sometime has been writing sermons, and wanted to preach! This was no easy feet - this was no desire - this was God's Idea, and after all, The Word says that The Spirit of God comes on people of all ages - men and women, boys and girls - we all have an anointing, and all gifts to bring to The Body - if its because God wants - then who are we to stand in the way. Some weeks later our senior leaders received another text from someone exploring full time ministry as a Salvation Army Officer in the not too distant future. She needed to also be challenged, as Trevor did, and again influenced by many, including trevor, asked if she might be permitted to preach one Sunday.

THIS SUNDAY in our morning worship meeting, Joel Whitewood (also a chorister at canterbury cathedral) will be bringing The Ministry of The Word. THIS SUNDAY in our evening meeting (disciple college) our acting childrens ministry officer (as of this month), Clare Hayward, will be bringing The Ministry of The Word.

As we launch out on our focus for this year - Living in Hope - both the words that God has laid on their hearts lay great foundations for the years ahead!!!!

Thank You Trevor for your influence!
