My final sermon was based on Acts 20:25.
“Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.”
It was a verse that came to mind many years ago when I visited Africa for the final time, and I quite literally took my last step on the continent, as I left the tarmac and got on the aircraft stairway.
It was in Ghana and I had enjoyed a number of fantastic years, not only in Africa but also Europe and North America.
Sorry I am going to miss your last service, the meeting I came to at Christmas had a profound effect on Isabelle and Elliot. Love and kisses to you and Debbie X X X
Thanks, Alison. It was lovely to have you with us.
Sorry to hear of this, Stewart. I wish you all well and hope that you all stay in touch. It’s a shame to hear things like this. We need more churches, not less….
Thanks, Lee.
Love your comment that although you’re a minister you see yourself “first and foremost as a Christian.” I’m sure new doors will open, but our primary identity once we’re saved is found in Christ, not our role or ministry title. Thanks for the reminder, blessings to you and Debbie.
Thanks, Jon. We’re very relaxed about everything, we knew it was coming due to the building situation.
Praying that God opens a new door for you, as His plans are revealed.
Thanks, Moya.
A sad day, but an opportunity for a new season as you have said. Hope you and Debby can enjoy a rest and enjoy being ministered to for a while. Pray that God guides you to the correct church 😊
Thanks, Chris. Will be with you next Sunday morning.
