Recently the newspapers have been writing alot about The Church saying that many church streams are reporting an increase in growth in their churches.
There is now an estimated 1.7 million people attending church in Britain
Something is changing and people are making their way back to church. As Newfrontiers we have been given the challenge to go into more nations and we are called to rescue more people in our communities
God wants Citygate to step up another gear this year to build together and into Christ to advance his kingdom.
Allow God to do 'heart' surgery on you this year to transfrom you to live in the truth of his word
Lets live in God's Good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12 v 1-2)
2012 will be a leap year of faith for us particularly for finance as we plan to open the new Citygate Centre in Bournemouth during September and for reaching into more unreached nations.
Great leaps for a church are achieved by hundreds of small steps made by individuals. This can happen through:
- reading the bible
- lets allow the Holy Spirit to move in greater power and freedom
- living a saccrifical life
- taking giant steps on holiness
- taking steps into evangelism
- taking steps in finance and giving faithfully
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—
his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2
