With an office move imminent, fresh manuscript work underway, and new initiatives to embrace, this spring feels very much like a time of “fresh shoots” for SGM Lifewords in the UK. This week, join us in praying for new projects.
- This month, SGM Lifewords will be moving our UK offices from Radstock House (in Victoria) to the Oasis Centre near Westminster. Please pray with us for the logistics of the move, and for a smooth transition for all involved. Give thanks with us for the significant part that Radstock House has played in the story of the mission; pray also for start of a new chapter in a new home, and pray that we’ll be able to make the most of the opportunities a different working environment will provide.
- The UK programme development team is currently working on two new manuscripts, both telling the story of Jesus’ life and ministry. One is an “introduction” to Jesus; the other a longer telling of the gospel story. Inspiration for these booklets came from research for the Historic Churches initiatives, as people working in visitor contexts asked for resources that would help introduce Jesus to an “unchurched” audience. Please pray for wisdom and creativity for all those involved in working on these projects.
- SGM Lifewords is one of more than forty agencies in the UK supporting the Biblefresh campaign for 2011, aimed at encouraging Christians across the UK into a deeper engagement with the Bible’s life words. The hope is that 2011 will be a year in which the whole church will get involved in rediscovering, celebrating and experiencing its Story in fresh, creative ways. Please pray for the initiative as it’s launched to churches this month. You’ll be able to read more in the next issue of Interact, and we’ll keep you up to date with how to pray for the campaign, and access resources for your own church.
