'What Now?'
2020 Ministry

|
Our 'new year' begins today on April 1st and so when we shared our 2020 vision with some of our friends and supporters at the beginning of last month, little did we know that the world was about to change - and rapidly so!
Our hearts cry for those that have perished due to the coronavirus and we pray in faith that those suffering illness or loss right now throughout the world are healed, comforted and strengthened.
Let's remind ourselves that despite the need to quite rightly follow the rules of our authorities, our Father in heaven is bigger than any pandemic and the name of Jesus is way more powerful than the name of COVID-19.
Like many others, the current situation has restricted our planned activities causing schools ministry, camps, trainings and other events to be 'put on hold' until we are able to re-start. That said, we have produced a series of online 'coaching sessions' enabling us to still engage with and reach people in their homes. (see below) We will also be writing new materials and training sessions to enable us to resource teams, leaders and partners.
When we are able to resume, our focus will be:
Locally:
1. A wider reach to the DISADVANTAGED.
2. A deeper impact through DISCIPLESHIP.
Nationally:
1. Strengthen existing and develop new PARTNERSHIPS.
2. Scale existing strategies and new teams by PLANTING.
Internationally:
1. Developing teams, leaders and partnerships through MATURING.
2. Growing new teams and leaders by MULTIPLYING.
Join us in praying for the world right now and please pray for us as we trust God for wisdom and His provision at a time when we are able to generate almost no self-sustained income as a ministry through our usual activities.

Overseas Outpouring
International Ministry
This happened last month in Burundi and came from the leader John:
“Yesterday was so great in the military camp of Burunza . Our GLM team played against a soccer military team and then we preached the good news of Jesus Christ to the players and many spectators. 50 souls then decided to give their life to Jesus, with an army Major being one of them.
Glory to God and thank you for continuing to pray for us.”

'They were Transfixed!'
Camp Ministry
On February's GET Serious Cricket Camp in Bath, great coaching, lots of fun, and serious competition blended together with powerful ministry.
One of the leaders shared:
"We really saw the Lord ‘show up’ in so many ways. Yesterday’s team talk was incredible with almost a tangible presence of God in the group. The usually disruptive children were ‘transfixed’ and ‘out of the mouths of babes’ came some awesome dialogue. One of the youngest children literally ministered like a confident 16 year old as he stated that “There isn’t anybody that Jesus doesn’t love, He loves us all the same, you are not any better or any worse than anyone else, and that you cannot be too bad in His eyes to be loved by Him!”"
The Lord touched hearts as 7 of the group chose to begin following Jesus and two of them took a Bible home.
Could you run a camp in your area in the future?
