Read More What Reward?The fact that we need someone to deliver us is an interesting concept to consider. If we can get ourselves out of whatever tricky predicament we find ourselves in, then deliverance is not required. And we certainly won’t need anyone’s help where that’s concerned. Evidently, however, there are times where we will come into scrapes […]
Read More Deliver UsWhat we did at the beginning was meet and pray. At that time it was just in one of the homes. We’d meet up, have something to eat and drink, talk about life both the subline and the ridiculous. You could really sense the development of relational bonds between us though.

Read More The Place Of Pottery Needs A RevampI can’t explain it in a way to please those who require testable proof. Yet I just know when people are praying for me. It’s something I can distinctly feel. And feeling that makes a massive difference to me. It reminds me that I’m not alone in this quest of following Jesus. It reminds me […]
