A new start

Hello all and welcome to the first post of 2012.  We went out on the streets last night for our first Friday night town centre outreach.  We had a team of six, including one brand new member, which was great.  We also had some new Outside Light coats:
Do you know why some peope thought we were fireman?


We had a very interesting night.  It was freezing cold (actually the nightime low was -5 degrees!) and it seemed that most of Woking had spent January's money over Christmas!  In short, the town was pretty quiet, but we did meet several people, many of whom received a hot drink and a smile, some of whom we talked to about what we believe and others who we gave gospel literature to and one person received prayer.

Overall we were received really well by all who spoke to us and finished the evening with a great sense of satisfaction.  I think that our break over Christmas had perhaps done us some good!  I am often reminded that we simply don't know what God is going to do with what we offer him, and the feeding of the five thousand, turning a packed lunch into a massive feast, is a good example of that.

I am convinced that God will bless all those whom we spoke to and prayed for.

Finally, I saw this post by Pastor Mark Driscol in Seattle, USA and thought I would take the opportunity to share it with you:
