The benefits of networking

During the past few days I organised and led two gatherings of rural church leaders - one in Market Harborough covers south Leicestershire and north Northamptonshire; the other is in the Rugby area and covers parts of Northamptonshire and parts of Warwickshire.

On both occasions there was encouraging information shared.  This included news of an effective evangelistic mission held between Palm Sunday and Easter Day, and a whole raft of other stories, some of which had profound outcomes.  We run these network gatherings roughly every other month.

Orders for "No Ordinary Man" continue to come in.  Those who have seen the book and the scheme just jump at it.  We are also now getting the responses to the survey coming in.  So far these all contain very positive comments.  If you are not too sure about this scheme please take a look at the section on our website, www.ruralmissions.org.uk.  You will find a link on the home page.

Talking about the website, I am seriously considering making a change.  It costs Rural Sunrise roughly £80 per month for this interactive website but most of those registered do not seem to make use of its facilities.  Right now there is a free offer for an excellent resource but I have to make my mind up this weekend!

Final piece of information is that Saturday saw one of the enormous piles of accumulated paperwork disappear from my desk.  One more to go!  I am feeling so much more energetic since the operation, thankfully.
