Working with other churches ...

On Sunday I had the privilege of speaking at Jubilee Church Farnham. This is a Newfrontiers church we planted 8 years ago with 40 people. It was great to see old faces and many new faces - happily the church has grown and is flourishing. I was especially impressed with the number of children. A good sign for the future.
I am also aware however that Newfrontiers is only part of the Kingdom of God. God is blessing Newfrontiers churches but He is much bigger than Newfrontiers.
On Wednesday of this this week I am off on a 24 Hour Retreat with the other church leaders of Surrey Heath. We will have time praying together, plotting together and eating together. Our working together as churches has already produced fruit through all kinds of initiatives including the schools work and Street Angels.
I am grateful for the genuine love and friendship between the brothers. Whatever the outcome in terms of dates and diary, I am looking forward to being with brothers who help me appreciate the wider Body of Christ.
Jesus is building His church.
