Saturday, 20 October 2018 07:55

Andrew & Lydia continue to live their lives at The Centre Weston super mare. With the help of staff and volunteers open each day to unknown trials and blessings which God allows in order that he may display his glory and express his love in the mess, beauty and brokenness that is LIFE.

BOOKSHOP

We continue to provide Bibles books cards gifts children’s books CD/DVD to all those who want to come to a physical place and select from the product range in particular for Bibles to see the size of text range of translations available. Through Facebook/webpage we are increasingly asked to obtain products for people who do not live in Weston, in fact people come from many miles away to visit we are beginning think to a greater extent than the local trade which appears to be reducing.

We are faced with daily challenges what we are offered as new books are beginning more openly deny the deity of Christ. God is big enough to fight his own corner but we are

God is clearly on the move as we have seen people who have no existing relationship with God suddenly arrive in the shop in search of Bible. Young and old have come in expressing a call toward God.

THE LIVING ROOM

We; as we have from day one nearly 7 years ago placed a bible verse in the window every dayand have testimony of God’s use of His word to impact passers-by through their reading of the day’s passage.

Monday – Saturday we share a reading from the Bible when we open in the morning and again when we open after lunch. This is always open to anyone to join in. Through the year we share many seasons with people living here, passing through on world travels or in a season of trial. It is wonderful to see God’s living Word totally relevant to a real moment of need also to see a maturing of faith in an individual. You are welcome to join us.

Our offer of “Coffee & conversation” is frequently taken up and we have the privilege of sharingmoments and seasons in people’s lives it is humbling to hear stories of joy and sorrow. As moments of prayer take place we have seen many answers, thank you Father.

As we continue to walk by faith taking steps and listening for the confirming word from God that this is the way walk in it, we are grateful for your prayer, patronage and presence on this journey.

(And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it”, when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Isiah 30 v 21 esv uk)
