Multiplication and Mission
Deb and I have just returned from a busy but very encouraging trip to Zimbabwe. It began with a couple of days with the River of Life leadership team in Harare where, amongst a number of things, we discussed their recent move to two meetings at one of their sites. We were able to compare notes, since we have recently done the same at our Lee site. It reminded me of a paper I produced some years ago when we were first introducing additional meetings at our Catford and Downham sites. We’ve learnt a lot over the years about what to consider before establishing another Sunday meeting, and you may like to have a read here if this is something you’re thinking about in your own context.
Our time with River of Life was followed by an outstanding four days with the Newfrontiers Together Team. We then finished with a short break before travelling home. Since we had over five hours between flights on our way through Johannesburg, we took the opportunity to visit Scott and Claire Marques. Many of you will be aware that Scott is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, and it was wonderful to have the chance to meet and pray with them before heading back to the airport for our flight home. Thanks to all of you at King’s and further afield who are praying for this wonderful couple.
This Sunday at King's we’ll be joined by Tim Morfin from Transforming Lives for Good (TLG), a Christian charity working with churches to provide mentor support for children at school. King’s has been involved with TLG for a number of years now, and it will be great to hear more about their excellent work. I look forward to seeing you there.
