Newfrontiers Together Team
Deb and I returned from our visit to churches in southeast Asia about a month ago, and life has continued to be both busy and fruitful since then.
A week after landing back in London, we had the privilege of hosting the Newfrontiers Together Team (the small team that serves the Apostolic Fellowship) at King’s. Vinu and Julie Paul from India, Edward Buria from Kenya, Bryan and Rachel Mowrey from USA, and Scott and Claire Marques from Zimbabwe all flew in for our time together. We were especially delighted that Scott was able to join us; many of you will know that he has been receiving treatment for cancer over the last year, and we praise God that he is now recovering well.
Of course, hosting the NTT at King’s for the weekend meant that on the Sunday we had a wealth of gifted speakers available. Vinu Paul, Edward Buria and David Devenish spoke at different sites, and I recommend catching up on any messages you may have missed. That evening we took the group up to Canary Wharf for an amazing Indian meal at The Grand Cholan, which is owned by Sam Vasanth, a member of King's. The rest of our time together involved a series of helpful meetings covering a wide range of important issues. It was very encouraging to hear how the Fellowship continues to expand, with numerous church plants reported, particularly in parts of Africa and Asia.
This week, Deb and I will be hosting key leaders within Newfrontiers who are based here in the UK. I’m delighted that Gavin Calver, who leads the Evangelical Alliance, will be joining us for some of that time.
Meanwhile, back at King’s, we have been preparing for Easter with a short series of Gospel messages on the work of the cross, which I highly recommend. Easter itself is just a few weeks away of course, and we’d love you to start thinking about who you can invite to join us over the Easter weekend. You can find details of all our Easter events on our website.
