Prayer and Fasting

Prayer and Fasting

This week I have been away at Prayer & Fasting. This is an event that takes place 3 times a year when the UK church leaders in Newfrontiers get together to pray. It was a great time. The worship and nearness of God was very special. Hearing news from around the UK was inspirational. On the Tuesday evening, Terry Virgo (who leads the Newfrontiers family of churches) shared some of his thoughts regarding succession – or “transition” – as he prefers to call it – not to one man but to several apostolic guys.
We spent time praying for upcoming Newfrontiers events including: Together on a Mission (the Brighton Conference); New day and the Together weekends.
News of church planting in London, Birmingham and the north was challenging then hearing from David Devenish about the very real persecution of brothers and sisters in Dagestan and Chechnya was very humbling.
