 A couple who went to visit their sister & sister in law ended up seeing 3 of their family come to God, and radically change - including stopping drinking.
A homeless man who has been overwhelmed as he celebrated his first birthday in the church got an extra birthday present from God on Christmas Eve - a house!
Another homeless man has also been given a flat in Kidderminster!
We have some incredible news about the planning permission for the church buildings
Such a sense of gratitude moved one woman to tears as she shared how God had not only given her a physical house, but a real home for her and her children when just 6 months ago they had nothing
A young lady spoke about how so much has changed in this year both in securing her in a home but also restoring a relationship with her Dad.
A woman knew that at the beginning of the year she was truly broken, but that God has miraculously put her and her family back together
Another woman had a totally different Christmas than ever before because she recognised her security in the church
A young man was in awe of what God has done in his life, he'd faced so much hurt from his family and was going nowhere. But God has really turned it around, healed the hurt and even given him a new family
One man who's been a Christian just a few weeks told how he's now free of drugs and now feels loved and secure
A man told how God's got his family back together after 10 years!
A young woman told how she really can't imagine life without God now, He's changed so much for her
14th December
A woman who's ears were blocked was prayed for in the meeting & immediately her ears cleared
One of the men from Birmingham who we've not seen for a bit we met on Tuesday. He came up excitedly saying that he no longer has pancreatic cancer!
All baby's are miracles so there was much celebration about the birth of a new baby on Thursday this week!
Do you remember the pregnant neighbour of one of our women who's baby they couldn't find the nasal bone (indication of downs syndrome) and then they did? The baby was born this week totally healthy!
A woman moved into her new home with her family this week and has been amazed at God's provision not just in an incredible house but in the provision of furniture and everything, plus food so she's not had to cook for a bit!
A young woman had an opportunity to speak with her classmates about what was happening at church and felt an overwhelming confidence as she spoke. As she told of the miracles they couldn't believe it, and the teacher was astounded!
A man who actually got up the courage to invite his mum to the carol service was amazed when she instantly said yes and suggested he invite his dad (whom she doesn't get on with)!
A man who broke his foot just four weeks ago is now wearing shoes when it should've taken 6 months to get better!
A man who went to hospital for an injection was speaking to a man about the miracle of the man with a broken foot. He said he really wasn't interested & got up and left. Once he'd gone the man behind him said I'm interested please tell me more!
A man whom God has shifted his focus found himself amazed on saturday that he was in Birmingham with his brother, this is the same brother who just 6 months ago never wanted to see him again!
A baby who was born with water on the brain & couldn't hear. Last week as we prayed the level went down to 50. The doctors said if it went down to 35 then they would discharge the baby. As we've prayed this week it's dropped down to 32!
7th December
Another opportunity through the exercise class came when we got the news that a lady who comes had been in labour for 24 hours. At 12 midday on Wednesday her husband was sent home saying it was going to be ages yet. We started praying at 12. At 12.30 he got a call to come back quickly & the baby was delivered very fast!
A woman who'd had a miraculous journey to rent a house had a call on Thursday saying the landlord had had an offer to sell the house & so she couldn't have it. We prayed and within half an hour there was a call back from the agent saying the landlord had had a fit of conscience and she could have the house!
A woman at work got out of the way and had an incredible way in with a lady who dramatically softened
In going out on the streets of Birmingham on Thursday night they felt God was saying they should do it differently. They met noone for hours, but then they saw a pair of feet sticking out of a doorway. This man is unlikely to have survived the night if they'd not given him food & blankets. They were reminded again how much God cares about just the one.
A woman who'd celebrated with family & church the day before the birth of her baby boy told how years ago she'd had a dream of her Dad & brother (neither of whom come to church) dancing in church. Yesterday it happened! She'd forgotten about the dream, but God hadn't.
A boy who's been having loads of nosebleeds was prayed for and he's not had any since
A woman had had an incredible dream of us all in a park, playing by a waterfall & stream. On the other side was a desert land, dark & dull. Our Pastor told us to take water from the stream and put it on the desert land. As we did the land started to crack and grow, so we went quicker. She's amazed God has placed her in such a good land
A couple went to Guernsey because of a dream, and walking into it has activated something in their lives
The management team recognised that they often get too bogged down with the practical that they don't see the spiritual side. This week they got rid of the agenda and challenged themselves to see what God wants to do
We had an incredible contact for the church happen this week, where an influential man who holds a main part to our progressing the building work for the church actually contacted us. We've always had to deal with one of his staff, but he's asked to speak directly to us!
