On Thursday night we had a get together with the ministries of KBC. It was a really fruitful time hearing about the different ministries around the place. Also, it wasexciting to share the room with so many incredible leaders who are energised by stories and experiences of what Jesus Christ is bringing about by his Spirit in our community! Thank you all for your prayers and involvement in our various areas of ministry. May our family continue to be shaped and shifted by the insights and burdens God is faithfully placing in our hearts and on our minds, which point toward His Kingdom that has come and is coming.

Blessings, Naomi Compton

The poet William Arthur Ward said:

“I will do more than belong – I will participate. I will do more than care – I will help. I will do more than believe – I will practice. I will do more than be fair – I will be kind. I will do more than forgive – I will forget. I will do more than dream – I will work. I will do more than teach – I will inspire. I will do more than learn – I will enrich. I will do more than give – I will serve. I will do more than live – I will grow. I will do more than suffer – I will triumph.”

We all occupy a space.
A space that constantly shifts, redefining itself.
Beginnings and endings.
Changes and transitions.
Some personal, some global.
How do we occupy the space?
Who are we in the space?
Who are we chosen to be in the space?

Kia Ora everyone.

A question has been echoing in my heart over the past few weeks. What does it mean for us to love each other, the way Jesus asks us to? Here are my thoughts.

Yes it means caring for and serving each other, sacrificing of ourselves and putting others first. But I have been challenged in my belief that says ‘that’s enough.’ I think that’s only half the job! The other half is harder than the first, and it has been something that the youth ministry of KBC have entered into wholeheartedly after a breakthrough Easter weekend.

God calls us to be open and vulnerable with each other. We bless others when we let them in and allow them to journey alongside us. I cannot truly love you, unless I permit my walls of strength, pride and “I’m alright” to be broken down. We actually love others when we let them into our struggles, show them our weaknesses and put ourselves in their hands.

God has been moving in the youth ministry and we have seen incredible breakthrough of some of the defences we have put up to protect us from the world. This hasn’t fixed any of the problems we struggle with, but it does allow us to journey alongside each other, to help and to be helped, both by God and by one another. “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17.

We value the input of all members of this community and would love to include you in our struggles. Please come along tonight at 6.30pm and hear some of the hearts that have been changed over Easter.
