Youth Work - Shine Fresh

Staff and customers have had a huge weight lifted off their shoulders as Tesco confirmed the purchase of their Newcastle store on the Castlewellan Road, their home for the last ten years.

The purchase follows lengthy negotiations with landlord, Lidl which had previously resulted in failed attempts to extend the lease or acquire the site, putting the livelihoods of 160 Tesco employees on the line. Up until now the team in the Newcastle store were living with the knowledge that their store may be forced to close if an agreement could not be reached or an alternative site for a Tesco store could not been found.

Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship
By Tim Pettingale

By now the story is well documented, how in 1994 a little known church near the end of a runway at Pearson International Airport, Toronto, came to the world’s attention as a place where God was meeting powerfully with His people. As a result of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the members and staff of the then Toronto Airport Vineyard were thrust into a ministry that would spread around the globe and bring more than 3 million visitors through the doors of their modestly-sized church building to see what was going on.

Many who have visited Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in the years between then and now have done so out of a desperation to see and experience a greater depth of God’s presence than they have previously known. Others have done so out of a desire simply to bask in God’s presence and have been surprised by the degree to which He has been able to minister to them when they stopped trying and just rested in His presence.

A Colombian Pastor was assassinated in his home last Sunday by three masked gunmen. Forty-one year old Rafael Velasquez, pastor of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Marañonal, died instantly.

The attack took place on the evening of September 6, after a church service in a Montelibano hamlet. The armed and masked men broke into Pastor Velasquez’s home and shot him dead in front of his wife and six young members of his church.

Paramilitary groups vying for power in the region are thought to be responsible for the pastor’s murder. At least fifteen pastors in Córdoba have come under threat over the last six months. A number have been forcibly displaced as a result of the threats against them and their families.
