We're into August now and that means Newday time - the New Frontiers youth festival held every year at the Norwich Showground. Hope Church sent a party up for the week but this blog is really about a coach party of young people that spent an afternoon in Thetford last Friday.
We all assembled in the Large Court and spend some time asking God to show us "clues" about people He planned to encounter that afternoon. Then we all went out into the town looking for these people! One group met a lady on crutches with a serious knee problem. 5 minutes later she was healed, to her amazement. That evening she drove her car again for the first time in months. Furthermore she is only a neighbour of members in our church!
Read your Bibles and you find incidents like this were common place in the earthly life of Jesus and the early church. God hasn't changed since then nor has his desire to break into the lives of ordinary people to heal and to save.
Our church's function in this town is to be a conduit for the blessing of God to people like us.
A great afternoon.
