o you have a desire to go deeper with God?

Do you want to experience afresh, or for the first time, the reality of His love for you, to know without a shadow of a doubt that God really does know you and talks to you, guiding and protecting, teaching and encouraging?

Do you long to know Jesus with deeper certainty as your Saviour and Lord, your faithful companion, your friend and comforter?

Do you want to nurture your relationship with Him through spending unhurried, quality time in His presence, worshipping, meditating and sharing with others as together you grow spiritually?

Do you hunger for a greater freedom and sense of joy in your relationship with Jesus?

Do you long for peace to fill your mind and heart and spirit even in the middle of grievous or troubled times?

Have you a burning passion to help the needy and the sick, the outcast and the forlorn with the loving power of Jesus through the Holy Spirit?

Do you just want to explore what it’s all about without being pressurised?

For anyone who is seeking to know Jesus more I’d say “Come to the Life in the Spirit Seminar. We look forward to your being there”

What do we do in them?

In the seminar we encourage and help all to know and experience

• the love of God the Father
• the joy of forgiveness and release into freedom and peace through entering into a trusting relationship with Jesus as Saviour and Lord
• a growing confidence in being able to call upon the gifts that the Spirit gives to bring hope, healing and encouragement to others

All are encouraged to learn to recognise God’s voice for themselves and to walk step by step in the Spirit as He leads.

Over the years many, many people have entered into a living, loving relationship with Jesus for the first time while others who may have been trusting Him for 5, 10, or even 50 years find a new exciting depth to their relationship with Him.

Many people have been healed or begun the process of healing in the course of seminars. Such an encounter with Jesus brings hope in the One who loves them and who gives peace in the face of difficulties. There are those who have been freed from chronic painful conditions such as arthritis and back problems, from emotional distresses such as fear and anxiety, doubt and depression and from spiritual negativity and heaviness. In one past seminar, a two year old boy whom the doctors had declared was dying, was healed.

It is good to be with God and His people when circumstances are fraught and it is good to be with God and His people when all seems fine, for whether it rain or shine we can know His joy, His peace, His strengthening and, most important, His love.
