REAL #Courage





A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came to REAL , and to everyone who served
and worked so very hard, using their creative gifts to bless us all!
Above all, I'm
grateful to God for all His blessings at REAL. He was so present, and so loving
- speaking to each one of us, drawing us towards Him.  He is so
good!  We prayed, we worshipped, we laughed, we cried, we hugged, we
danced, we pushed through and moved forwards in courage. We leant in and opened
our hearts. So many of us were brave and courageous.
 
 




Weren't we blessed by
the teaching? It was my privilege to "lay the table" preaching about
courage, and wow, how God spoke to us through both Heather and Priscilla's
words. I was so proud of "our own" Heather, as she shared her heart
with such power and vulnerability - what a challenging preach! Priscilla Reid
was wonderful wasn't she? So kind, natural, funny and wise. How God worked
through her prophetically! We have made a new and good friend in Priscilla,
that's for sure. 
 Podcasts will be
ready soon so that we can all listen again.


God bless you this
week - God is good - keep on being courageous!

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story:  Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come!   Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a  summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately  choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak
