Weekly Update on Harlow Church Plant 19th March

Hello and another week has passed and we hope it has been a good one for you all. We’ve had a good week too as we seek to see a significant church established in Harlow as plans have been coming together for this Sunday’s Regional Celebration and we also had Colin & Eunice Potter join us last night to share their wisdom, thoughts and strategies with us from the two extremely successful church plants they have done in Plumstead and Enfield.

We are very grateful as Colin & Eunice shared many things which have provoked me and other members of the group and I’m sure will be fruitful in giving us direction in the next phase or our journey. Speaking of which next Thursday will be the first of 4 Harlow Group sessions looking at what we want to value. We are expecting The Holy Spirit to be with us and for some great revelation – see the website ‘News’ section for more details.

We’d really appreciate your prayers for the 3 minute slot we have at Sundays Regional celebration as although not long we have lots to communicate and help to request, as getting people to log onto our website thus making it better rated by the search engines such as Google is one of our current aims – with that in mind could you maybe go there after reading the remainder of this update? www.harlowchurchplant.org

Otherwise we’d appreciate prayers for health of key members of our group and also employment as we are still struggling on that front.

Also for new people to join the plant, we sense that we are ready for some new warriors to join us, people who are prepared to join us in our Churchillian blood, sweat, toil and tears battle and so are seeking God with expectation to have more of Harlow’s mighty men & women added to us.

Have a great week and we’ll be back next week with an update from the regional celebration plus an overview of how our first evening of putting in the foundations has gone.

Keep smiling
Ben & Clare

5th February Update from Facebook Group

Greetings everyone and welcome to those of you for whom this is your first contact.

Thanks for taking time to read this, for remembering us in prayer and as always we sincerely pray that you will be blessed in return. God has been impressing on us the importance and need for prayer and more and more we are realising that we are totally dependent upon Him, trusting in His grace and mercy and brought up short with our total inability to make things happen.

Since the last update lots seems to have happened although it’s only been 2 weeks. We have got a website up and running so can be found at www.harlowchurchplant.org and whilst parts of this are still changing we are hoping to use this more and more in the future so keep an eye on it.

We have also finished having our initial coffee and chat times and so are excited at the prospect of running ‘Harlow group’ every Thursday evening in various homes. We’d really value your prayers for these as they are crucial for us to build together and truly become ‘friends together on a mission’

For anyone still considering popping along we’d encourage you to get in touch! The plan is still to meet from 7 till 9 including simple food and a great time together focusing on Jesus knowing it’s all about Him!

This week we’ll be looking at what God has spoken to us prophetically so it promises to be a significant and good evening!

Please do pray that God would not only direct our Thursday evening meetings but that He would also add to our number particularly in areas where we are currently weak. Harlow contains around 90,000 people and Jesus has an inheritance here of many people who yet don’t know Him, the challenge for us is massive but we are trusting in God to direct and connect us with the right people.

In addition please could you pray for protection over us as a group as we’ve had medical scares, ill health and just lots of things not going as we planned in the past couple of weeks too!

Thanks for your continued support and please don’t forget to have a look at www.harlowchurchplant.org

Keep smiling

Ben & Clare
