From Peckham to the M25
Some things are easy to say or post. Other things are not. Saying to your congregation that the Lord is calling you on is very hard, but All Saints was yesterday shocked by exited for us. I have been so proud of their mission motivation and preparedness to release us. Below is our official announcement about the next steps...
After 7 wonderful years of ministry at All Saints, it has become clear to myself and Amy that the Lord is calling our family to move to another missionary calling. We are planning to plant a new Anglican Minster church near the M25 as a Perimeter Church for London. This new ministry will be a part of The Order of Mission, an Anglican order, and we will have a focus on reaching and empowering the rising generation. We will be moving from Peckham into an initial set up phase for the new Minster and it may be that God is calling some of you to move with us. We have loved our time here at All Saints and been amazed at what the Lord has done and we feel certain that God has wonderful plans for the church here in a new chapter with a new leader.
The exact location has not yet been confirmed, nor the precise timing of our move, though we are convinced of the Lord's leading at this stage. It is looking likely that we will be moving over the summer, and should be 'in place' as a family by September, in time for the new school year.
