Transformational Change Happening In Local Schools
October 19, 2011
We’re really encouraged by the increased sense of His presence in our sessions – it’s exhilarating and if you’ve yet to experience it come to one of the sessions (http://www.c-hop.co.uk/schedule/).
This Friday 8-10pm join us for another intercessory worship session focusing on the sphere of Education in our community.
We’re hearing stories from a number of schools in the area were transformational change is beginning to happen.
For example, we’re hearing of a Scripture Union (SU) established and thriving in one school that previously resisted having one.
The behavioural statistics of another school have significantly improved and staff have directly attributed this to the influence of a local church youth ministry with the kids.
If you are connected in any way with education locally your input can really help transform a generation.
Hope you can make it.
Cheers – Andy
P.S. Ian shared this fascinating insight:
1859 – Charles Darwin wrote famous work ‘On The Origin Of The Species’. Also the year that Karl Marx published a trial volume of what later became known as Das Kapital.
These 2 works have formed foundations for many arguments which have sort to draw people away from God. Yet in the same year – God himself was being revealed extensively – across America, parts of Europe, and, as we all know – across this very province.
While some were being drawn to debate the very existence of God – God himself was showing up and changing communities. in a very simple way I think that is extremely significant!! as they say ‘timing is everything!!’
As Ian Randall – in his book ‘Rhythms of Revival’ points out.. “ at the heart of this spiritual renewal was a belief in prayer and a conviction that that revival would spread through prayerful waiting in God’s presence”.
So – when the people of God got on their faces, God began to unveil His!!
