Cease from our Endeavours
River City are in the middle of a week of prayer, we are dedicating more time to seeking God and asking Him to change our city and bring close those far from Him. I read this brilliant quote from a book called “Rain from Heaven” by Arthur Wallis and wanted to share it hear to […]
Live Broadcast – Our first year of Church Planting
John and I enjoyed sharing some thoughts and stories from our first year of church planting in a live online interview last week for Newfrontiers’ church planting resource site: The Broadcast Network. You can watch the interview above.
Hidden in the shadow of His Hand
The season we currently find ourselves in is an odd one. It’s neither here nor there. We had left our former church to start a new one, except we had then deliberately chosen not to launch publicly until early 2017, instead taking our team through a ‘soft launch’ period. This was with
