Living in Faith
We have seen many people begin training as Authorised Lay Ministers, to exercise ministries which focus on either pastoral care, preaching, family ministry or community outreach. It is so encouraging to witness the growth in the numbers of people.
Attendees comment on the course: “Living Faith has been a wonderful opportunity to meet with fellow Christians, share thoughts and make friends. I have felt humbled by the life stories of members of my group and thank them and Jayne for the chance to learn more about myself and what God has in mind for me.” - Maggie
