At last the vision for south Ashford has been realised, and God is using this time so gloriously a kingdom is being built right here on our own doorstep, God has laid on the hearts of so many people the need in this area for a meeting place where there is love, caring and sharing. Although other venues were viewed and discussed the revival centre felt like home. A home already prepared with christian love, the warmth in which we were received could never be experienced unless it was filled by God centred people.
The number of people wanting to join together in fellowship varies between 23 -30 weekly, mostly to chat and share with each other, it is also a place that a church should be, a refuge from the rubbish that surrounds their lives, a place of protection against condemnation, a place where the hurt are healed the unloved are loved, and the loved, love each other. Many christians are damaged by non-christian, christians. Some of these damaged and hurt are coming to the South Ashford and finding the love that is rightfully theirs through their inheritance in the kingdom. These are the people God is pulling out and setting up ready to receive the broken and rejected it is already becoming a home from home for many as they are coming back on a weekly basis. Its a time when so many ask to stay together after the meeting is over just to pray for each other and God honours that time in a amazing ways. One young lady who is struggling after losing here child turned to the church for refuge was so badly damaged by the church, it has taken months of tender nurtering to prevent another lost to the kingdom. At South ashford Cathy has found true christian love and asked to be prayed for after the meeting last week, she was baptised in the spirit and is rejoicing in a great way. Many are lost to the kingdom through the one part of the body God gave to us for fellowship, instead the tongue has become a toy for satan to play with, when we say unjust unheathy things about people even in some kind of jovial way the (bitter sweet tongue) it affects the minds of all who listen and you have stamped a black mark on a fellow christian even though very often the tongue is then used to sweeten the heart of the person you have set out to hurt. I say this because there are many Cathy`s. My prayer for South Ashford is that will remain in Gods hands as it is today and remain under the umberella of the love in which it is received. I pray nothing will seep slowly and deceitfully into that meeting and the pure joy of each others love and fellowship will remain for ever. amen
