‘Holding forth the word of life...’ (Philippians 2:16)
We are delighted to announce the engagement of James Chittenden to Ellie Rowell. The wedding is planned for 19th May in Carlisle. If you are a UK tax-payer you may be interested to know that we have adjusted the response form on the prayer guide so that Gift-Aid claims can be made for each gift sent into the office. We are very pleased to welcome 2 new Associate workers into the Mission’s ranks. David Cooke is a pastor in Banbury and Simon Robinson (our former trainee evangelist) is studying at University near his home in Dudley. Allan Peel from Liverpool is our new volunteer evangelist. This new role replaces our trainee scheme, but will run in a very similar way. Allan will be working with the Mission throughout 2012. We have reproduced the Mission’s introductory booklet ‘How shall they hear?’. Free copies are available from the office. The Beach Mission Reunion will be held in Reading over the weekend of 17th-19th February. Edwin Baker will be the speaker. Further details are available from the office. The Team Events application form for this year is now available. The venues are as follows: Bournemouth and Swansea (6-9 April), Liverpool (16-22 June), Plymouth (28 June-4 July), Oxford (2-4 September), Manchester (15-21 September) and Lincoln Christmas Market (6-9 December). The Mission is also planning to run in collaboration with United Beach Mission, 2 weeks of outreach in central London during the fortnight of the Olympic Games (28 July–11 August). Book early to avoid disappointment! We have recently set up an online shop for the purchase of Mission literature on the Internet. The address is: www.oamission.com/shop The Master and the Multitude magazine is available on cassette or CD for blind and partially sighted people. Copies can be sent free of charge upon request.
