Revival?

I have been busy with life and got out of the habit of blogging.

It is now nearly two years since I started Huddles and these have been a real blessing. We now have a core group of leaders in the church with shared vision and values.

Last year we started holding monthly prayer days and we have just finished a 24/7 prayer week with the church open for prayer day and night with someone praying the whole time. There is a growing sense of God on the move in our midst.

Several of us went to the New Wine leaders conference last year and we have been impacted by Bill Johnson's teaching (from Bethel church in Redding California). We are looking to take the healing ministry out beyond the walls of the church and hope to do some healing on the streets.

We also have a group of four ladies attending the Diocesan Mission Shaped Ministry training course with a view to helping our Cafe Church to have a missionary focus. We are going to try holding the service at 4pm on Sunday 15th June and on 13th July to see how it works at that time of day. It was always a source of irritation to some folk in the church when it was held at the same time as the service in the "Victorian" building.
