Reflections on Together on a Mission (TOAM)

I'm still on a high from the excellent time spent at Weymouth, Brighton and Poole. God has been so gracious to Stephen and I as we continue to experience the favour of God......

  • The Weymouth Family Church looked after Stephen and I in Brighton. It was precious spending more time with Steve Hunter and Team.
  • The praise and worship was beautiful - many tender moments experienced. It was also good seeing Kate Simmonds.
  • The opening speaker Mbonisi Malaba, leader of New Creations Church in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe was a definite highlight. He did so well on a Global heart and perspective.
  • Joel Virgo's message on The Armour Bearer, spoke volumes to me - straight to the heart.
  • Meeting up with the Zimbabwe team from Bulawayo for dinner, which was graced with Martin and Dawn Tibbert, Gavin Bateman and Team was a blessing.
  • Needless to say - seeing Scott Marques and team praying for the sphere(Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique) was inspirational. Scott,now based in Mozambique, prayed in Portuguese! WOW!
  • Terry Virgo is always a delight to listen to - wisdom, grace, humility were the tone of his messages on NF past, present and future.
  • Meeting with friends and catching up on what God is doing in their lives is great. Sam and Marlene Poe are a God sent.
  • The seminar on Global Hospitality was wonderful. Listening to dave and Liz Holden(U.K), Lee and Stacey Yarborough(Mexico) and us: Stephen and Molly Manhanga(Zimbabwe), was interesting. God is a God of diversity and it's brilliant seeing him touch people across cultures & race. We are One New Man in Christ.
Change is in the air.......The tide is turning.....
