On Sunday 9th August we have a guest speaker here at The Ark. Nick has been recognised as a Prophet by the Apostolic Church in Australia for more than 25 years. He has also written a book to equip the next generation in prophetic ministry and edify those in practice of this important gift.
Everyone welcome to come along and hear Nick speak on 9th August.
A new course is due to start in October, this will be a great opportunity to grow in your relationship with God.
A team from The Ark including Eric, Carol and Rachel along with Glen, Bethany and Claire from the Porthleven Church in Cornwall will be travelling to Burma on Tuesday 7th July.
It is a very significant trip as the team will be teaching on the Tenets of the Apostolic Church with the hope that the church in Burma will become an autonomous Apostolic Church.
During the trip the children will also receive English teaching and a reading scheme will be left with the children and staff for them to continue the things they have learnt. The books have been bought by the children from CJs Dance School who have supported the home since 2010.
Please pray for God's blessing on the trip and for the Holy Spirit to work in all they do. Photos will be posted throughout the trip on The Ark and ActionOverseas Facebook page to keep you all up to date.
