The Kingdom Looks Wobbly but it is Alive!
I just returned recently from a middle eastern country (sorry to make that sound so frightfully glamorous and mysterious – I can’t tell you which one as it’s not totally safe for the people there) after visiting church planting friends. My friends and I met on theology training as
How River City Church Came To Be – Part 2
It had become fairly apparent that God was leading Jubilee to start a new church in the East of Hull, the question now was who was going to lead it? Who did God want to work through to bring it to life? Who would we send out as part of the team in order to […]
