"I am glad to say Athens Link is progressing well. There was a very real sense of the Lord’s touch and presence on the gatherings and real evidence of growth in many lives. At the heart of the church is the desire to be available to God for His life flow and to be a spiritual and practical resource for God in Athens.
There is a real excitement about the coming trip to be with us in June, and a desire to share life and grow in the Lord together as well as establishing ‘links’ and friendships that will further the life flow between us for many years.
Thanks for all your prayers."
Now he has time to unpack, get the washing done, catch up with people and get packing. Tuesday he heads off to Zimbabwe with Norma, Jim S and Angela. Here is the itinerary.
19/20th – Travel and arrival via Amsterdam/ Nairobi with Kenya Airlines
21st – Rest and communication with Simon and Silent
22nd -Travel to Muzarabani
22nd/24th- Easter Convention at Muzarabani
25th- Muzarabani with Pastors and their wives. Jim and the team will be seeking to establish grounds for support of the orphan programme
26/27- Leadership Conference at Karoi
28/30- Return to Harare and Leadership Conference
1st May- Church at Hatcliffe Township
2nd May – Travel to Scotland via Jo’burg and Amsterdam
3rd May – Back to Scotland
The programme is a full one but offers many opportunities to share in with the rapidly growing church of Fellowship in Christ. The Easter Convention at Muzarabani last year had around 400/500 people and more are expected this year. It will be extremely warm during the day, being in the lower Zambezi valley, but night times will be a little cooler.
The Leader’s Conferences will be a great platform to pass on biblical truths and practical advice. As a church we are really looking to moving forward on the orphan sponsorship. It give us a great chance as a church in the very near future to share into a very needy area.
Please pray for this trip, for anointing on the ministry, travelling mercies and strength to do the task!
This is another chance for our church to ‘make a difference in the world around the world’.
Er... you do realise that there isn't a 31st of April?
