Attribute 41: He Helps

The Helper is constantly at work giving us life, inspiring us to faith and stirring us forward and into action. I'm on an Easter break at the moment (although much of it is taken up with dissertation!) but still very aware that many of the things I've been up to have only been possible by the help of God!

Life Church Southampton
As the official launch of Life Church Southampton is only a few weeks away, there have been exciting things going on - last Sunday we had a special "sending" event from Winchester Family Church. This Sunday we (over fifty of us) will be visiting King's Community Church, the other Newfrontiers church already on the edge of the city. And our Wednesday evening gatherings have been preparing us to start a brand new church for the city. In all of these things we have been so aware of the Holy Spirit at work, helping us to pray, worship and trust Him.

Connect e*news
Once again I had the privelege of writing for the third Connect e*news, the newsletter regularly released by Newfrontiers. I wrote about the most recent Student Worker Day at which we again experienced the Helper at work. I'd encourage you to sign up for these if you haven't already - they're very encouraging!

In all of life He is present, helping us to do the things He has called us to. The examples I've given are just two of many in my own life from the last few weeks; the testimony of any Christian is this: He is my Helper.
