We had a great vision Sunday at KA yesterday reminding ourselves what God has done but also what he plans to do. It’s such a priviledge to lead a church of people so on fire for Jesus and willing to contend for breakthrough in our town and nation. Looking back over the year we were so excited to realise that 26 people have made commitments to Christ so far this year and around 60 people have testified to being healed or improved when prayed for on a Sunday. That’s on top of the 60 or so weve seen healed on the streets this year. What an awesome God we serve who’s taken us from such a place of unbelief and moved us to begin to believe him for the impossible. It was so encouraging for me to think that every Sunday 1.5 people will be healed and every other week someone is giving their lives to Jesus. It changes our expectation somewhat! Anyway if you missed the message it should be online later today hereand I tried to pack in as many great stories from the year as I could to stir us to expect more!
Heading off overseas today to speak at a Newfrontiers conference for people working overseas (bit vague due to the nature of where they are working!) – would appreciate your prayers for more breakthrough and a rise of faith for people to see what were regularly seeing now in Bedford in nations all over the planet. Hope to learn also from these guys – some of whom are working in extreme situations. Your thoughts and prayers also for Caroline and the kids – particularly ethan who had a real hard time with me leaving this time.
And then back on thursday for our Fathers heart conference. Can’t wait to meet up again with Peter Jackson and catch hold of more of my heavenly Fathers heart. It’s all about the presence!
Sounds amazing, Simon! We’ve been hearing about some of the stuff going on at King’s Arms through Dan, and we’re excited and encouraged. Miss all of you…
