Last night was an excellent evening.

I drove to Basingstoke to join around 300 people from the local churches to worship and take part in the commissioning of Luella Moody as the director.

It was particularly excellent for two reasons.

One was the diversity of the turnout. There were young people approaching their early teens squashed together fighting to get to the front where the action was and their grandparents sitting further back.

The second was Luella’s story. She told how she has been changed by responding to God’s call on her life and how when asked what her dream job would be that she responded with ‘to set up a YFC centre in somewhere like Basingstoke.’ The person asking apparently sat ‘mouth open’ as she was aware of the talks YFC had been having with the Basingstoke churches and how we were just about to advertise for the role.
It’s incredibly exciting when you see how things are knitting together as part of God’s plan.

Please pray for Luella as she starts this exciting ministry.
