Dear Friends at All Saints - Mattishall, 

Thank you so much for your kind gift of £287.00 to strengthen your persecuted church family around the world who are risking it all to follow Jesus. Thanks to your prayers and support, our brothers and sisters know they are not alone and can stand strong in their faith.
When 15-year-old Godwin* tragically lost his father in an attack on their village by Islamist militants, he couldn’t stop crying, and he struggled to eat. For him and his family, the pain was unbearable.
That began to change when Godwin and his siblings attended a trauma care centre run by Open Doors local partners.
“I am thankful to God because of how He is making me strong,” he says. “I was taught forgiveness and I’ve been able to forgive those who killed my dad – that is why I am thankful, because I have received healing.”

May the Lord fill you with His Spirit and surround you with His love.

Your sister in Christ,

Henrietta Blyth
CEO, Open Doors UK and Ireland

Good news! We have just learnt that we have been awarded the expected £10k grant from the Net Zero Carbon fund in the diocese to go towards the cost of the new heaters to be installed in ASM. That means we now have the entire cost covered. God is good.

Sue and I are meeting with Charli Finch from Heissen (the manufacturers of the heaters) and Roger Atterwill (of Wensum Valley Electrical, who are our usual electricians and who will be doing the installation) Thursday of next week to check all the details and then hopefully we will be able to say roughly when the project will start.

As ASM will need to be closed for 2-3 weeks for the scaffolding while the installation is done, our friends as Mattishall Methodist Church have kindly agreed to let us use their building for that time (whenever that is) and we have told them we will pay properly for that hire.

More info next week.
