The title may be a little melodramatic but this week is very significant to Grace Vineyard Walsall. On Monday night at the NL Conference in Nottingham our church was officially recognised as a church plant of the Vineyard UK. I know a year ago it was announced and it was a huge disappointment to all of us who attended the conference. This year they officially recognised the planting of the Lord in 2011 which actually gives me a distinct advantage in accomplishing more with my five year goals.
Two weeks ago Bonnie and I attended the Walsall Pastors Christmas Lunch courtesy of Colin Gibson, the rector of St. Matthews. Through that meeting we were invited to the pastors' prayer meeting every second Wednesday. Bonnie and I attended today and were asked to share our story of the church. We were very honoured to have that opportunity. At the end of the meeting they gathered around us in prayer, laying on hands and welcoming us as co-workers into the city. It is truly a blessing!
We also heard a fellow from the Aurora Vineyard in the US at the conference last night. He was very, very enjoyable: humorous but powerful. He shared on healing and raising the dead. The ministry time at the end was great with many pastors getting physical healing. I believe we are going to see some great breakthroughs in healing during the next month.
Remember the Supernatural Healing Conference with Bob and Sue Brasset the first weekend of March. Invite your friends, your neighbours and anyone who is sick. Be bold and watch what God will do. Expect great things.
Tomorrow night is the prayer meeting at the church office, 102 Queslett Road E, across from the Queslett pub. The week following we will be teaching a 3 week (Feb.9,16, 23) course on 'The Father Heart of God'. This will be at the office at 7:30. Everyone is welcome. There is no cost or registration required. If you're not part of Grace Vineyard you are still very welcome.
I want to welcome Joel Inkster back from Canada arriving Thursday morning. Remember Margaret and Phil Bristow are still praying in South Africa and will not be back until Monday. Please pray for their safety, health, traveling and clear effective hearing the voice of the Lord. Pray for Bonnie and Jim as they are ministering in Luxembourg this weekend with the Portuguese speaking church and the English speaking church.
Remember we meet Sunday at 10:30 for an 11 start at St. Matthews Church Centre
