Sunday Night Live is a night of live entertainment with a twist of faith. It was started in Loughborough by BBC radio Derby Presenter Johnny Kinch and is spreading throughout Costa Coffees around the nation. Organized by a group of Christians from local churches, Sunday Night Live simply aims to build a community of people who enjoy coffee, live music with an element of Christian faith.

Founder, Johnny Kinch says:
“I started Sunday night live as a result of having a life changing experience. I felt there was a real need to reach out to those around me and wanted to do it in a way that was entertaining enjoyable and inspirational, and of course we like good coffee and cakes as well!”

The Sunday Night Live team are excited to announce that PAUL BELL will be with us on Sunday 4th March.

Costa – 15 Northgate – Wakefield – WF1 1HD

The annual without borders conference has taken place at Stafford Showground in the UK each year since 2004.

These weeks of equipping and inspiration for all the family have impacted 1,000s of lives to take the message of the gospel to the ends of the earth!

A warm welcome? When you walk into the hall you will be warmly welcomed by our Welcome Team and given a visitor card. We would appreciate it if you could complete the card at the most convenient time and return it to our Welcome Team or place it in one of our Offering baskets.

What can I expect to happen? During the first part of the meeting the church will be enjoying praise & worship. Expect to see people lifting their hands, dancing, singing and praying. You will also see and hear the gifts of the Holy Spirit in action.

In the second half of the meeting it will be given over to the teaching of the Word of God for about 45 minutes.

At the end of the meeting you are invited to our guest area, our Welcome Team will show you where the refreshments area is located. There you will have the opportunity to meet some of our leaders while having some refreshments.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

“If you’re getting bored at home or finding it difficult to keep your toddler entertained and stimulated, then come along to ‘Jelly Babies’ situated in East Ardsley. ‘Jelly Babies’ is a great setting for you and your toddler to socialise with other parents and carers with children of a similer age.”

We were decorating a downstairs sitting-room and I had decided that rather than move the carpet into another room, I would just fold the carpet over in the middle of the room and cover it with cloths. Decorating had proceeded well and there was just a small patch on one wall which needed an extra coat. My wife Ruth went out to a meeting, and I was just carrying the paint can to the wall when I tripped on the carpet and fell on to a long-handled dustpan and brush set that was standing in the middle of the floor. (This brush had always been a frustration to me, because frequently when sweeping, the brush would come out of the handle and drop to the floor.) The handle was 15cm long and went into my face under my chin, smashed through my mouth and went up behind my nose. I was still conscious. I remember deciding that it would be safer to get to the telephone to phone 999 if I held the handle (about 2cm was still able to be held outside my chin) and pulled out the brush part. I walked to the phone, told the emergency services the key information, then in an act of neatness I decided I couldn’t sit down on the new suite and drip blood on it, so went to sit down on a stool in the room where I was decorating! The paramedics came quickly and rushed me to Pinderfields, our local hospital. I remember telling them where my wife was and her mobile number, and then I don’t remember anything about the next three days. The surgeons operated successfully as far as they could estimate, then put me on a life support machine in intensive care under sedation to make sure that my airway didn’t close up.

Meanwhile Ruth finished her meeting and was expecting to ring me at home so I could pick her up. When there was no answer she wondered what had happened. Then God spoke to her and said “Jon’s in Pinderfields, but he is all right.” She thought the best thing was to go home first and check things out. On her way back her mobile rang – it was the A&E unit telling her “Your husband’s in A&E with a paint brush in his neck. We’ve had to take him to theatre and we’re operating now. Don’t worry: we suggest you go home, have a cup of tea and we’ll call you when he’s coming out of theatre.” Immediately Ruth contacted our youngest daughter Jennifer who was at work. She came straight back home. Just as Jennifer returned, the hospital called again to say they were just finishing up in theatre but I would be sedated overnight. Jennifer contacted all our other four children and our pastor Paul Sheffield and news spread for prayer around the church  and other related church leaders nationally. When she arrived at the intensive care unit the Ward Sister told Ruth “Your husband’s a very lucky man”. She had several key phone calls and visits from leaders who encouraged Ruth to hold onto the word God had given her. But then for two days it was just a case of claiming the promises and praying at my bedside.

It wasn’t until I came round from the anaesthetic that I realised two things:

1. It was a miracle – The handle missed every major blood vessel in my neck, missed my vocal chords, had hit one of my eye sockets but had not damaged the sight and had stopped travelling a couple of centimetres before it hit my brain. Medics have a different way of describing miracles – the anaesthetist asked me whether I had bought a lottery ticket on the day of the accident – I said “No, I am a Christian, I don’t do the lottery”. He said “You would have won, it was your lucky day.” Statistics on winning the lottery suggest it’s one chance in 14 million which is as close as you’ll get to an admission that something miraculous had happened!
2. No-one apart from me had any idea what had happened – had I fallen from a ladder on to a paintbrush? I tried to tell them on them on the first day, but I was still coming round and they thought I was light-headed. It wasn’t until the day of my discharge from Intensive Care that the doctor in charge asked me if I would like to see what had caused the damage. “Oh yes” I said “It will help to resolve a family discussion”. She brought the handle round and next visiting time I was able to prove that it wasn’t a paint brush handle but the dustpan brush.

From the time I woke up, recovery was rapid – of course there was the normal drifting in and out of consciousness when withdrawing from anaesthetic and pain killers and there were sixteen external and a similar number of internal stitches in my mouth and neck. But I had good vision in both eyes and was able to speak normally. There were broken bones in my palate and cracks on one eye socket. The medics were concerned that I was experiencing some double vision, but this subsided as the swelling reduced.

Jennifer, Ruth and Michael (our eldest son). started to read the Psalms to me, particularly Psalm 104 which had sustained Ruth while I was unconscious and I was just overcome by how amazing and powerful our God is. Our other three children came and just shared their love, which was beautiful to receive – I’d prayed when I was in the ambulance to see all my children again. Paul came everyday and brought a card from the youth in our church which was really encouraging: they were praying for a speedy recovery and for me to be back at church soon.

I couldn’t sleep on the ICU: it was too noisy (with all the life-saving devices). Next night I tried cotton-wool earplugs – not much better. The third night Jennifer suggested an MP3 player. I said that my mobile had got some MP3 albums including my favourite “Lift Him Up” by Ron Kenoly. Although I didn’t sleep much I kept playing it over and over again to let the words and music bring healing, encouragement and declaration of the mighty power of God. The night after, Jennifer transferred Matthew Ling’s “We see your Glory” which was equally faith-building. Over the time of my stay in hospital I received news that lots of specific people of faith had been praying for me. Each piece of news was like a shot of spiritual adrenaline.

I recovered so well that I was walking around the ICU by day 5. On day 6 I was discharged to home. The ward sister had to ask for advice from a colleague on how to do this, because it was virtually unknown for anyone to walk out of the ICU!

I had an outpatient appointment for my eyesight a week after my accident. The specialist told me that although I had slight occasional double vision, that was just bruising and she confirmed that my eyesight was quite ready for driving if I wanted to. She was so confident that she didn’t need to even give me a follow-up appointment.

The next day was the appointment with my facial surgeon, who said the healing process was going well although there might possibly be some minor reconstructing of the mouth and nose bones. He approved the removal of my external stitches which healed completely. At the next outpatient appointment he said that no further reconstruction was necessary!

The only difficulty that remained was being without dentures for eight weeks while my mouth healed. But I can’t remember anywhere where the Bible encourages us to praise the Lord with our teeth! It suggests mouth, voice, instruments, hands – I did all that enthusiastically on the following Sunday back at church. The week after, when I was stronger, I danced my thanksgiving for God’s wonderful and miracle-working love!

‘We See Your Glory’ is an album made by songwriters, singers and musicians from churches across the United Kingdom working together under the banner of ministries without borders. Our aim in recording it was simply to share some of the songs that we use in our times of worship – songs that express our longing to see more of God’s glory – songs that convey the vastness of His glory – songs that proclaim God’s desire for the whole world to know His glory. Click here and enjoy!

ministries without borders^® speaks of people who are inwardly free and outwardly mobile; who use their gifts, talents and abilities to take the message of hope, the gospel of good news, to a needy and dying world. We believe that every mandate given by God can be achieved and that there are no problems too difficult for His power of miracle.’

In light of this the ministries without borders Rapid Response Unit seeks to reach out to those who are in desperate need as a result of natural disasters or conflict, in accordance with Jesus’ mandate. The Rapid Response Unit aims to show the practical love of Jesus by providing affected peoples and regions with medical aid, shelter, food provision and clean water and sanitation facilities. At the same time they bring with them a message of hope and good news and a Spirit of power and miracle, allowing the Kingdom of light to penetrate through times of darkness and despair.

“This is the kind of fast I’m after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts. What I’m interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families……..If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about other people’s sins, if you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down and out, your lives will begin to glow in darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go. I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places, firm muscles, strong bones. You’ll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community liveable again.” (Isaiah 58:6-12 MSG)

Additionally:

• Prophetically speaking into governments and situations thereby bringing the power and authority of God to that circumstance.
• Bringing God’s Word to situations of injustice and human rights atrocities.

1. Advocacy

• To fight for the rights of the poor and oppressed and those specifically kept in a state of poverty by discrimination and government policies/actions.

As the people of God we are called and commissioned to do the same anointed works as Jesus did……and “even greater” as John 14:12 states. The Lord wants to refresh and anoint us in the Holy Spirit to involve us further in taking the marvellous message of the Gospel of the Kingdom in the power of signs and wonders to the world around us.
