Sunday Services at Ruwach CC

We have two great services on Sunday 20th September, at the 10am service the church was filled to capacity with an amazing anointed worship, the presence of God was very tangible in the service. I ministered on "Offences" and number of people responded to the message. There was a time of personal ministry to a number of the congregation.

The evening service was Ruwach CC seventh year celebration dinner, what a great evening of fellowship and and sharing. Many in the church shared their journey to that point on how God had lead them and blessed their lives and how great is was to be part of a church that had a significant impact on Hayward's Heath. The testimonies were very encouraging, and to hear how God had turned individual lives around, their sorrow into joy. Glory to the Lord Jesus for He has done great things. I ministered on how God was calling a "A Prophetic Generation" to arise in these days. It was a real privilege to be part of Ruwach's journey, and I thanked Ps Jackie, Noreen and Elders for the opportunity to minister into the life of the church at Hayward's Heath.
