All Nations Church – Oldham
It’s only been two weeks – weeks of action.
Our first meeting was on 9th November. There were 14 visitors. Admittedly, some of these were from related churches visiting members of All Nations church. However, in the goodness of God one family that came has felt to be part of what God is doing amongst us. The second Sunday, we had one visitor. She too has expressed desire to be part of the church. Another lady phoned after finding a leaflet we had put through her door and wants to visit the church. Of course we still believe God for salvation, but we praise God for the beginning of the fulfilment of his word to us that Christians will be added to us!
The favour of God has been abundant in the provision of a meeting place. Initially our contract only allowed us 3 hours on a Sunday and two afternoons in the week. With setting up and breaking down on Sundays, we felt pressured with time, and had to work with quick hands! We have now been allowed an extra hour on Sunday, at no extra cost. And, we have been allowed a room to keep equipment through the week…at virtually no extra charge. Yes, it’s only two weeks!
God’s word too has been abundant. God has spoken to us again about breaking people out of addictions. He has spoken to us about thousands who will come and be part of the family. He is calling us to live in intimate relationship with him. He also wants us to continually live in the light of revelation knowledge – the word that proceeds from his mouth. He has promised that we will see great results because he is with us and has conquered everything that seeks to oppose us.
As went out on the streets Saturday 22 and still go out on Wednesday 26 and other future dates, we believe we already have the victory. Victory comes because God has assured us that the LORD our God goes across ahead of us like a devouring fire. He ‘will destroy’ them; he ‘will subdue’ them. We are so privileged that we participate with him in driving out all that is against His kingdom and secure the victory he has already won (Deuteronomy 9:3)! Yes, it is only two weeks, …exciting!
