Completely Clear
Thursday 28 May ~ John Lance Two weeks ago I had the results of my latest Cancer scans, and as I knew they would be, the results came back the same as last years scan – completely clear of Cancer! For those of you who may not know, in 2018 I was told I had an aggressive advanced form of Prostate Cancer. I was also told that there was no cure for this type of cancer. The early scans had…
Cultivate Thankfulness
Thursday 21 May ~ Daryl Etherington Today I read these words in Colossians 3, ‘cultivate thankfulness’. My mind was taken back many years, when during a very difficult time, a dear christian friend of mine advised me to, ‘stay thankful’. It was the last thing I expected or wanted to hear but I knew she was speaking from love and experience. We have all experienced the amazing way our Father changes the atmosphere and our attitude when we choose (sometimes…
Getting Back to Normal
Thursday 7 May ~ Jo Taylor These recent times have caused many of us to reflect on our lives in a way like we never have before. We are currently in our 7th week of “lockdown” and the more people I speak to I realise how the situation of each household has it’s own unique story and challenges. It’s consistently reminding us that we are in the same storm but the circumstances we find ourselves in look very different from…
Musings from my time in Mexico
Thursday 23 April ~ Trudi Clements During my brief time in Mexico (I will return once this season we are in has come to an end) I was looking at the life of Paul. As a missionary I love looking at, and learning from, his life as he ministered cross-culturally and how he reached people with the good news of Jesus Christ. Today I want to take the opportunity to share with you some of what I see in him.…
Resurrection Sunday
Today, Kathryn shares a special Easter Sunday Worship playlist and devotion. For a week or so now, I‘ve felt a battlecry rise up from within me. It seems fitting on this Easter Sunday, when our calendars remind us that Christ Jesus, our Saviour rose from the dead and won the battle against the enemy, against sickness and against death. We live in His victory every day. The time our world is in right now is one of a battle,…
Good Friday
Today, Kathryn and Kelly have teamed up to bring you a special Good Friday Worship playlist and devotion. Hallelujah, I’ll live my life in remembrance “Remembrance” © Hillsong Worship, 2017 As I thought about what Good Friday means to me, I found myself singing the song, ‘Remembrance’ by Hillsong. I want to live my life remembering the victory of the cross & the sacrifice that Jesus made for me; That on the cross He took all my sin &…
Hola from Mexico
Friday 20 March 2020 Hope, faith and love to each one of you at this time of uncertainty and fear for many. I want to encourage you that we can hope in God. He will not fail! Be full of hope, be full of faith and be full of love. But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do…
Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?
Friday 7th February 2020 I have been settling in well here in Juarez, the adjustment has not been difficult at all. I know that it’s the power of prayer and the goodness of God that has made this time easy. Thank you to all those who have prayed for me. I had a big surprise this week when snow started falling. My roommate, Vania, has never experienced snow before as she comes from a different part of Mexico, so I…
An update from Trudi
Monday 20 January 2020 Good news! I have arrived safely in Mexico. Despite the bumpy flight that was a little scary at times, the immigration process was smooth and easy, and the best bit – all my luggage has arrived safe and sound. Thank you everyone for your prayers. I was concerned I might lose my bags but God has kept them safe. I was met at the airport by some team members who took me to a Mexican restaurant.…
