There is much to rejoice in what is happening here in South Ashford. Since the weekly cafe church opened we have seen three converts and we are now full. We are in discussions and much prayer about seeking the way forward for having to more on and find new premises, maybe, probably - God knows. Additionally there is so much continual potential - for childrens ministry, for older people support, in fact for every generation. There is opening for links with schools. There is a great team of people coming together to work towards the fulfilment of this project - and we could not do a lot of this also without the support and backing of our divisional headquarters. Please keep praying about the future - and especially for Envoy Val and District Pastor Elsie in these exciting days.

Thank you for your faithfulness to the vision God has given you. We know it can be tough, having been here before ourselves, and we know there is a lot of press on through, but be assured Jesus will conquer! Hallelujah!
I have a picture, as I prayed for these encouraging words this morning. This picture is of a river, its a calm river, but it is picking up pace, it is raging now, as God works and moves, it is bursting now, it is jumping over its banks, it is alive, it has moved along smoothly for a while, and now it is bursting. God's Spirit is that river, and that river is of His love and mercy, His Spirit - Amazing Grace and more. This is God. He is with You! Hold on because this is not just a rocky ride, but an amazing one too!!!
Wow, what a great word. How encouraging.
