News Update

We feel to have been honoured greatly with the Lord's presence over this Easter. Our 'Easter Bible Retreat' run for 4 days and we greatly valued the ministry of Tom Lori, seen here leading us in a Passover meal on Easter Saturday. Our steady attendance over the weekend was 25 with others coming in for some sessions. 31 of us sat down to the passover meal. Guests and participants came from UK, Switzerland and Germany and it was good to be able to welcome new faces as well as more long-standing friends. On Wednesday this week we held a 'Theme Evening' with a buffet supper followed by a talk by Tom entitled: 'How I as a Jew came to find the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as my Saviour', which we had advertised in the local papers. A number of our guests stayed on for this evening and we were also pleased to have 8 further people from the locality joining us. Tom spoke in German and Deb translated into English in one corner of the room for our non-German speaking guests. We feel that Tom's testimony and witness spoke to our hearts and we pray and trust to the hearts of one or more of those with us who don't yet know Jesus personally.
