The LJC is now approaching its third birthday and some of us have been living in the building for six years. I know it is very obvious to say time flies but it really does. Well, it does after you have gone through it, I know that the period of the refurbishment seemed interminable while it was happening but now it is just a dim, dusty memory.
A recent bit of reflection by the Community here helped me re-call the amazing way that God enabled us to obtain the building. It is truly remarkable that the Jesus Fellowship Church and Jesus Army Charitable Trust should have such a centrally located place for their work.
A good foundation has been laid in the Centre and many people are benefiting from its ministry. Material needs are met, housing and employment has been found for some, but, best of all, people find friendship regaining dignity and confidence. A good number of people have found faith in Jesus Christ and are in Covenant Membership with us, some of these are now exploring the possibility of living in Christian Community.
The big challenge ahead is how to keep the work moving forwards, reaching more people and offering a wider range of services. We desperately need more workers and more finance. Please stand with us in prayer to see this Kingdom work advance.
