TOAM BRIGHTON 2009
Once again ‘Together on a Mission’ was outstanding! Personally very moved to hear what God is doing around the world. One story that was both inspirational and amazing:
A young girl from Lesotho (Lesotho is one of the poorest nations on earth) who most had ignored was saved and began to feel called to serve God in the UK. She pursued this impression from God and trained as a nurse. As her wages improved she started sending money back to the church in Clarens. When she returned home for holidays she would consistently serve in the church.
She noticed the community in Lesotho had serious transportation problems, even for simple things like getting their weekly shopping so, even though she earned relatively little she has bought a 40 seater bus from Japan (via the internet) and had it exported to Lesotho where it will be used by both church and community.
This is empowerment of the poor!!
So many, many amazing and wonderful stories of God’s love and power. We really can do more together than we can apart.
More soon
Andy – great blog.
July 17, 2009 at 8:12 amAmazing story – TOAM really does expand your vision to see a bit more of what God is doing in nations with newfrontiers. I thought Dave Stroud preaching on Daniel and being missional in the workplace, life, church etc was excellent – enjoyed the story of the Christian think-tank sponsoring the atheist bus campaign because it was causing so many opportunities to talk about Jesus!
