Love Littleport - A brief update after the mission week

Littleport is a rapidly expanding town in the Cambridgeshire Fens just north of the historic small city of Ely.   Here the Hope Brothers once manufactured the England football kit and our skaters would beat European rivals on frozen fields. Today we see race-winning Cambridge University boat crews practising their strokes on the River Great Ouse. We have the lowest-altitude Park Run in the country (and a Vicar who regularly runs) and an iconic Harley-Davidson memorial on our central green. Curious?
 
For many years our prayer has been to share the hope we have in Jesus with the whole town. A team of 10 from TFM served! It can truly be said that there were many encouragements, contacts made and renewed, and an amazing blessing from God, in Holy Spirit enabling power throughout the week.
 
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us (1 John 3.16)
We love because he first loved us (1 John 4.19)
 
There many needs remain in Littleport, social and spiritual. The churches here are gutsy, frontline mission communities. Every month on the third Monday thirty or forty of us from Churches Together meet together to pray and share testimony. Give thanks for the programme during the mission week which included visiting all the schools and care homes, many coffee mornings, classic TFM door-to-door and time in local pubs and clubs. Particular groups were reached with special events – an international feast, film and discussion for young people, ‘Jesus: the evidence’ for sceptic friends, men’s and ladies’ events, a singer from Ireland giving an evangelistic concert in a public hall in the centre of town. There was an amazing all-age fun day (with weightlifting evangelists) and harvest thanksgiving services on the final weekend.
 
We joined together as Christian people across the town and beyond. Do continue pray for us.
