The Gospel is good news! The Father welcomes us into His presence, the Holy Spirit has been poured out, and His sons and daughters live under an OPEN HEAVEN. We NOW walk in partnership with the God of the impossible and are empowered to continue the ministry of Jesus on earth as Holy Spirit filled believers. We are a sent people.
We love His presence and when we encounter Him, we are transformed; transformed people transform the world around them.
We're excited to have Paul & Sue Manwaring (Bethel Leadership) and Steve & Juliet Barber (Chroma Church, Leicester) with us for this event; they carry a passion for God’s people to be empowered, equipped and sent.
The Senior Pastors of Chroma Church in Leicester. Steve was saved as a teenager during a mission to his small village in the 80’s, Juliet surrendered her life to Jesus in Steve's church in Southend in the 90s. At their core Steve and Juliet are missionaries and church planters, believing their lives and calling is to be the change in God’s pocket…They are passionate about pursuing the Lord’s presence and seeing people come to know Jesus. If the purpose of the church is to love God, the mission of the Church is to unashamedly proclaim the Gospel of the risen Jesus Christ to our city & nation. Their prayer is that the Church will be the continuing story of the unfolding Kingdom of God into Acts 29 and beyond.
Based at Kerith Community Church UK, serve on the Leadership Team of Bethel Church Redding and feel called as missionaries to the UK & Europe. They believe it is time to cry out: “Why not here, why not now, why not us!”. Their hearts desire is to strengthen churches and see everyone equipped to bring the Kingdom of God and know that they are sent, whoever they are, wherever they go, whatever they do. Paul & Sue believe that they will see Europe in Revival.
