Welcome Home to those that
attended the F12 Cape Town
Conference!!!!
Our members have slowly started trickling
back from Cape Town. What a blessed time
they all had! Testimonies of what Jesus has
done in their lives during the conference are
flowing in! Here is a testimony from our
beloved Jessie Gao(please note this is a
summarised version of a coffee date :P)
Jessie Gao
Ohhhh myyyyy Gooossshhhh! Eyes wide
and excited! It was
ammmazzziiing!(Hands in the air), These
where Jessies first words.
Jessie said that the first message
preached on day one was mind blowing and
each messages after that somehow
seemed to just get better and better.
For Jessie personally, the message that
spoke to her the most, was preached by
Andrew Selley on 6th Oct. Jessie said
that prior to the conference she was
battling with fear of man and confidence
to speak out because of her timid nature.
However, Andrew preached a messaged
that felt as if see other side
it was tailor made for the struggle that
was going on in her heart. Andrew spoke
about how when we are born again, we are
NEW creations. The old is gone (Eph 4:22,
22
You were taught, with regard to your former way
of life, to put off your old self, which is being
corrupted by its deceitful desires;) Some of us
may be using our personality or the way we
are as a valid excuse not to move the way
God is leading them to. Instead we need to
put on the new self (Eph 4:23-24, 23 to be made
new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put
on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness.) He preached how
just like the physical body needs practice
and training so does your soul (spiritual
body).
We need be obedient when the Lord speaks
to us and prompts us, being careful not to
hold back because we have accepted that
we are not that way. We cant hide behind
the excuse of who we think we are we
need to be who Jesus died for us to
be...New Creations! Living lives that are in
tune with him. The more we exercise our
spiritual muscles the stronger they
become.
Thanks Jess for sharing your heart! What an
amazing testimony and work God is doing in
your heart! So if God prompts you to do
something dont hold back because of fear of
man, be obedient. Even if you think you will
look like or sound like a fool, be a fool for
Jesus!
Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV)
22
You were taught, with regard to your former way of
life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by
its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude
of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to
be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 Ignite Youth News

Youth is kicking off again this Friday night 18:30 -

20:00. Please note that some changes will be
occurring soon in the structure of the younger and
older youth. We will be separating the older and
younger age groups in order to give them more
specialised attention. Listen closely to announcements
on Sunday

We are really so excited for the youth in this season!

The Lord is on the move and we feel that making sure
our youth are walking authentically with Jesus is of the
utmost importance!

We are continuing to work through the Purple book

is the Holy Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit.

We love your children and treasure the precious time

we get to sew into their lives!
