The last time we posted, we talked about how God was working in our lives through the many changes we were experiencing, that we felt a deep desire to experience God more deeply and connect with those around us, there was a strange kind of restlesness driving us!
This feeling has continued to shape our spiritual lives over the past few years. Our work has opened our eyes to many new things, working along rejected and marginalised asylum seekers and helping the church to engage with their wider communities across the UK. We felt compelled to leave our church and move to a new plant within a social housing estate in Manchester. The church plant is within a more deprived area of the city, and the church has grown quickly to total about 60 people.
This same restlesness continues to drive us though, and we are continuing to feel God drawing us to new things. Trendy words that are often thrown around in Christian circles include incarnational, church planting, justice, mission. Thoughts around some of these issues are shaping our thoughts about our future. Thats all i'll say for now but im sure there will be more to come in the near future...watch this space
Glad to be hearing more about what's up, Hami!
