LOGOS HOPE, OM Cardiff (May 28th)

by Colin Dexter
Partner With Us

You Can Make A Difference!

This is a massive God-sized project. We welcome the partnership of friends and organisations who will embrace our vision, and work together with us to make the vision of Logos Hope a reality. There are many different ways you can be a part of this project.

Pray with us…

Prayer is at the core of all we do. Over and above our own efforts, we recognise that it is only God’s hand upon us and upon all we do that will move us forward. Challenges and needs surface from time to time (sometimes more often than we would like!), and we need to continually bring these requests before God’s throne of grace. For more news and prayer requests, sign up for our regular updates by emailing info@shipsoffice.org

Consider giving financially…

Every gift, big or small, helps us cover the costs of getting Logos Hope ready for service and keeping OM Ships in operation. There are various ways you, your church, or your business can give – through financial donation or sponsorship of equipment, tools and resources that we need to outfit the ship. See the Giving section for more details.

Join us…

Short and long term volunteers of all ages, and with different skills are needed to staff Logos Hope and help complete the ship’s renovations. Are you interested? Check out the Join The Crew section.

A Resurrection Fib

by

A Resurrection Fib.
Luke chapter 24 verse 41 says, “The disciples disbelieved for joy”.
I’m not sure what that means either. However, I am going to think about it before next’ Sunday’s sermon. In the meantime, the phrase has prompted the following resurrection fib.
If you are not sure what a ‘fib’ is – it’s based on Fibonacci’s number sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 (i.e. the next number being the sum of the two previous numbers). If you can add to my ‘fib’ or want to try one of your own, go for it.

Christ?
Yes!
Risen?
Disbelieve!
Disbelieve for joy!
Incredulity learns to laugh,
unembarrassed by the scandal of resurrection.

Haiti/Christmas

by

Hiya people,

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve managed to book my time off work for the Haiti trip in February so thank you so much for your prayers!!

I thought this would be a good time (if not a little late!) to remind you of the link that I gave you last year…

…”If you are planning to buy any Christmas presents on-line this year, if you start from the www.buy.at/Haitihospitalappeal site, and link from there to your favourite sites (Amazon, Marks & Spencer, Play.com, HMV etc) and buy as you normally would. You get the same discounts and offers, but as you started from the Haiti web shop, the Haiti Hospital Appeal will receive a donation from the site you purchase from – for free!”…

Carwyn has also asked me to make you aware of the following site…

http://www.globalgiving.co.uk/pr/2300/proj2229a.html

…”as Haiti Hospital Appeal have been enterd into a competition with some other charities to see who can raise the most amount of money between now and Dec 15th.  Basically if we raise $5,000 and get 50 different supporters to sponsor us we win $2,500.  If we raise the most money over all we win $10,000, and if we recieve the most unique individual donations we win $15,000.  All you need to do is make a donation, even if it’s only £1!  The more we get the better.”

Carwyn and Reninca move out to Haiti just after Christmas for a whole year so I know they would value your prayers!!! As you can imagine things are a little hectic for them as they sort out their UK work/home/lives and get ready to move out.
The charity’s website address is http://www.haitihospitalappeal.org/ and there is a small team there at the moment… so pray away!! (The team also have a blog on the website while they are away which includes some lush news about some of the children you will have heared of from my last trip).
Love you all,
See you at Christmas.

by Colin Dexter

There is only 6 questions, and it shouldn’t take more that 10minutes. I would really appreciate your ideas and thoughts.  Just click on the link below, and follow the instructions. Be as honest and inventive as you like, it is all anonymous, and loads of fun!!!

Thank you for all your effort during the weekend!!!

The group with a new name!

by Colin Dexter

Well… I know you have all been eagerly anticipating the naming of the Thursday youth group and I am pleased to inform you that we have finally setlled on one…

Drum roll please……………………………..

We can now be refered to as ‘Flame!’

The astute among you will notice that we have gone for a grown up Spark/Sparx!!!!

I do not know why it took us so long, but the girls have all agreed that this is a good name!

We hope you approve. If you don’t, please tell the girls so they can argue their case, also so you can see the sadness in their eyes rather than tears in mine! My guess is that you will be much less likely to risk upsetting a child, and therefore will keep your opinion to yourself! lol

Anyway, it is getting late. More details will follow!

Thanks for your prayers for the group, please keep them up!

1 Kings 19 How does God speak to you?

by Colin Dexter

God Speaks

God Communicates.

God  wants to hear from us . Be real. Tell it how it is.

Things are not always as they seem. His purposes are accomplished in  His way.

You are not alone.  God loves you & will give you direction.

God wants his presence with us to be personal

To the Manor ‘burn (er…did I just write that!)

by

Evaburn return to the Manor for another evening of spiritually uplifting ‘rawk’.
To entice people out of their warm cosy houses on a chilly October night, we are providing a buffet and free soft drink (if you bring along a flyer).

Please let everyone know and keep your eyes peeled for those flyers.

Horizon 2 Horizon

by Colin Dexter

This the organisation that Phil Hefner is involved in. (Colin)

Welcome to H2H!

Reaching Today’s World

What’s It All About

We are very happy that you have decided to stop by our site to check us out!!!  So just what is The Horizon to Horizon Evangelistic Association – H2H?  First of all… we are people.  People who care about others throughout the world who have not found the wonderful experience awaiting them when they learn to know Jesus Christ as their savior, God, and friend.  We want to help you start a relationship with Jesus Christ without any preconceived notions of religion.  Look around and check out our site and learn more about us… and maybe even a little about yourself.

 

 

Where Does H2H Fit in the Plan?

 The goal of Horizon to Horizon is to proclaim the gospel of the Lord to people of all ages.  Our audience are those people whose image of Jesus Christ comes from a society where Jesus is “what my grandparents did” or whose experience with church is drawn from a vision of Christianity that is more worried about the outside than the inside or a Christianity that is so narrow that only one style of worship or music is allowed – fit in or get out.

Want to Know Christ?

Looking for something in your life to fill the emptiness but don’t know what? 

What’s it all about???  What’s the bottom line???  Simply put… Christian is FUN!!!  Today’s world increasingly believes that becoming a Christian means giving up all that makes life worth living.   This is about as far from the truth as you can get and it’s time for those of us who know the real Jesus to step up and tell them the truth. Those who know the truth have a responsibility to share the truth… that Christianity is finding a life filled with happiness and satisfaction that the world can never match.  It is time for us to show those people in this world who have been beaten up, discounted or looked down upon by religion the REAL Jesus Christ – the Jesus who loves each and every one of us no matter who we are.  That is the true Jesus Christ!!Those of us who are living in this modern, advanced society have at our fingertips things never dreamed of 50 years ago – IPods, cell phones, news and communications instantly from around the world, but even in our world of technology and “stuff” we have never been more unhappy.  People today are empty… hurting… looking for something and unfortunately our society has them looking in all the wrong places.  Newer, bigger, better, or more will not fill the emptiness we feel today.  That emptiness is a hole – A hole created in the Garden of Eden when sin entered the world and ruined our relationship with God.  And that emptiness has been with humankind ever since.  It shows up as fear, loneliness, anger, insecurity….  We try to find a cure in drugs, drinking, friendships that don’t last, relationships; but the only cure is a relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the only cure that will never let us down.  This is the message we need to spread to our friends, our family, our classmates, and our coworkers.  This is the message they need to hear – God Loves You.
