Today, I was asked to speak in our daily morning devotionals, on faith as a fruit of the Spirit. Faith has been a key component in my life (as it should for all of us). It is a strong or unshakable belief in something; trust in God and His actions and promises; or the belief of testimony. I have found that faith is the “currency”, if you will, by which …
As we sat for our morning devotionals, the theme for the morning was meekness. Meekness is usually described as being in a state of humility or of a lowly mind, which means to think yourself lower than God. However, there is a greater extension to that meaning and Jesus talks about meekness regularly for a specific reason. Meekness is accepting adversity, tribulation and trials without complaint. Jesus wanted to prepare …
“Every great journey begins with a step”. A saying that has never rung so true, than on the Thursday 14th August 2014, when we a 10 strong team began our journey to Gulu Uganda. As we took our first steps at air side to board, we had no idea what we were about to experience. The flight preparation for our mission was not the direct route that we had wanted. …
With the horrific abduction of 200 children in Nigeria, we are consciencebound to ask the question – how hardened can the human heart become? InGulu we have seen firsthand the cowardice of using children as human tools forpolitical and religious gain. There can be no greater cowardice than exertinghuman control on innocent lives. The 25 year civil unrest saw over 80% of thelocal population displaced into Internally Displaced Camps on …
We are now back from the mission after a gruelling 10-12 days. It was so easy to get carried away in the day to day grind of it but upon reflection something incredible yet simple stands out. The faithfulness of God. The missions trip was incredibly positive in many ways in which we witnessed God perform recreative miracles; team growth individually and corporately whilst that sense that the Holy Spirit was …
TEAMS Mission to Uganda – March 2014 Well, as we draw to a close on another mission, it is nice to see smiles all round! Below you see the picture of one of our leaders receiving a full set of the Stepping Out Programme Training manuals which we presented to all those who completed the FULL 5 day training with us. It was an intensive time from 9-4pm every day and in the …
Even though I’ve been a Christian for 20 years – and I am totally confident in Christ in many ways. My achilles heel was recognising who I am, in Christ. Not what people say I am or think I should be, but who I was born and destined to be. The truth is it’s been a constant mind battle and daily walk to overcome. I had to recognise and know …
I arrived back in London on Monday night with a sense of relief, not because I had come home but because I had fulfilled everything asked of me. There has been a sense of satisfaction about this mission and the key for me was to stay humble despite the authority given to me on the tour. Pleasing God takes faith alone, but it is only through faith we can do …
As the mission has now come to an end and the team have since left Gulu, making their way back to the Uk. I still remain for a few weeks in the good company of Daniel and Jody who are based here. Therefore, already being familiar with Gulu as I had first visited back in 2003, I decided to spend the day with a dear friend and her family. They …
The days on missions always started with praise/worship and word at the hotel, then the same at the TEAMS sanctuary! I found this exhilarating and these times of devotions got the day off to an exciting start! There was lots going on with the ministering, teaching and praying and the exercise program which was piloted by me and Sydney was received well by the TEAMS staff and plenty turned up to take part regularly. …
