Next Breakthrough: Sunday 22 August 2010 at 18h00! Michael Cassidy is coming to speak to us so invite your friends! We’re going to be worshiping God for all He’s worth!
This last Saturday (15 May) saw the worship evening Breakthrough take place at Christ Church Kenilworth. Organized and hosted by us, the young adults, Breakthrough was created so that we could have an evening of pushing into God. The tag line “an evening of encountering God through passionate worship and seeking Him” was the vision and, by His grace, was made real.
The worship band was lead by Matt Dennis, tag-teaming with Nick Miller for different songs. The quality of heart to go along with the quality of sound really made worship free and exuberant. The joyful dancing and praise were most epic with the African songs where the whole church jived together before the LORD!
Here are some of the testimonies of what our good God did in our lives:
“I loved being in the church and just soaking up the Spirit. Thanks to those who came and laid hands on me and prayed for me. I don’t know who you were but I had a deep sense of God’s hand on me.” – Duncan Mclea
“I had an incredible moment of encounter with God where I realised a bit of who I am compared with who he is – and actually it was quite terrifying. Even so – I left feeling very much loved by him – and that I can trust my Shepherd. I left feeling even more desperate for God’s Spirit in my life.” – Jeremy Jobling
“The evening really was a breakthrough for me – part of a bigger (and a somewhat painful) journey I’ve been on with God in the last few weeks. The lyrics in the songs and the content of the message grabbed my heart and confirmed some of the things the Holy Spirit has been whispering in my ear lately… It was a key moment in what God has been leading me through while I’m on this long break.” – Tim Smith
“I’m a better musician and worshipper for having done this, and had some interesting changes to my understanding of the role of music in corporate worship.” – Fritz Meissner
A huge thank you must go out to Jeremy Jobling, the Hewittsons and Vowles who prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed (at 6am nogal)! Your wisdom and heart for God is so inspiring! And thanks to everyone who helped out, whether it was with administration, praying, taking care of children so your spouse can pray, playing the violin, singing with all you’ve got or dancing like crazy before God! This really was a collaborative effort of God’s people seeking together to push deeper into Him and everything He has for us!
when is the next Breakthrough happening? Keen!
