The end of a year …
The last month of the calendar year is a good time to look back and as I do I am very grateful to God for all He has been doing.
In 2022 we have seen the Movement start to take shape as a relational family of churches, and of a small number of apostolic networks. The Holy Spirit has been leading and making the relationships: the Spirit is the very best planner in the world!
During the year we have been able to run Fuel the Fire events in several locations, in partnership with local churches rather than imposing ourselves in their town or city. These have been precious two day events: the first is a day of prayer and fasting with local leaders, praying for the region or city and ending with a shared meal; then the following day a day time wider gathering of leaders with an evening celebration aiming to live up to the name Firestarters.
The Turn Nations conference in October was a great family celebration as well as an opportunity for hearing God’s “Now Words” and ministry times. We were able to launch the Revival Ready book at the conference, which we wrote jointly to inspire the church to be …. Revival Ready!
In order for leaders across the UK, USA and some other locations to stay connected with the All Nations family we have been meeting online in “huddles” (small groups) so that relationships can develop as leaders in different contexts pray for one another and share their triumphs and struggles. We are hopeful that this will develop in the coming year.
