All Jesus did that day was tell stories—a long storytelling afternoon. His storytelling fulfilled the prophecy: I will open my mouth and tell stories; I will bring out into the open things hidden since the world's first day.
Matthew 13:34-35

Hi wonderful people!
Don't you just love a great story? We watch movies and boxsets and read books because we do.
Whilst walking the earth, Jesus had so much to share and boy, did He share it! He had so much love and power and wow, did He show it! He also had so much to teach, and He taught it - largely through parables (stories) to help the many and the few understand.
Jesus was, still is and always will be in the 'changed life business;' He's done it for you, He's done it for me and whilst you read this and we sleep tonight, He'll be doing it for others.
This is his heart, this is His way, this is His call.
As we race closer to Christmas, we remember that He came to change history - yours, mine and everybody's through His-story.
Thank you Lord.
Below, you will read of a couple of recent stories of God at work -thank you so much for continuing to support us prayerfully and financially and may your next month be full of stories of God at work in your life. |

SET-FREE!

Meet Ezearé
Lost, lonely and at the point of taking her own life as a struggling single mum, this precious young woman in Burundi was on the brink.
And then she came across our partnering team who were reaching out into the community with active sports games. It looked fun and so she joined in for some cheer, only to also meet compassionate Jesus followers who then lovingly shared the greatest story of all - Jesus.
Something changed, the lights went on in her soul and she fell to her knees desiring her Maker and His mercy - she received both and is now saved, set-free and studying God's Word with others who are caring for her.
Hallelujah!

Our local schools ministry in the UK includes mentoring small groups and individual children who are struggling.
One such 11 year old, 'C' we began to get to know 3 months ago.
He was depressed and unwilling to join in with any sporting activities and quite unresponsive to the efforts of our coaches to engage - until he felt their love and sensed they were genuine.
Consumed with anxiety which he says he has had since aged two and believed he would have for ever because his mum does, 'C'started to share and engage actively.
Three months on, despite some ongoing struggles 'C' has now joined one of our school sports clubs, opened up to one of our coaches and accepted prayer when anxious.
The Lord is busy changing the picture in this young boy's mind to see that he really does have a hope and a future.
Thank you Lord.
