CATCHING the FIRE

Work is progressing steadily at the Rescue Project in the New District. The Living Word Church is located in the centre of Maues and to help get the church fully behind us in the vision that God has planted in our hearts we asked the youth of the church to carry out door to door surveys in the New District area. Many of the youth have never been in this area of Maues before because of its location (being on the far side of town so to speak) and its ‘fame’. This gave them an opportunity to relate to the people in the area, providing an opportunity to understand more completely the vision behind the Rescue Project and also see where they fit in.

It has been a great time for the youth, they have gone around the doors for three weekends consecutively and have had plenty of opportunities to share Jesus with the people of the area.

There has been a real ownership of the vision, with an expectancy rising in them as to what God is going to do in this area which they have in turn passed to the residents......... ‘it is like breathing HOPE into their hearts”.
