Survival

Posted on by
An Australian woman miraculously survived after a bungee rope snapped during a 365 feet fall in Zimbabwe.
Erin Langworthy, 22, from Perth, fell into the crocodile-infested rapids with her feet still bound. The horrifying event was watched by Erin’s friends who saw her plummet into the Zambezi River on New Year’s Eve. Speaking to Australia’s Channel 9, Erin said: “It felt like I had been slapped all over. I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface. I think it’s definitely a miracle that I survived.” Erin spent a week in hospital with cuts and bruises but was not seriously injured.Hearing about Erin’s fight for survival in a crocodile-infested river reminds us how precious life is.

Read what Jesus has to about survival

26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows

A New Year Message from Pastor Jem Trehern

Posted on by

As we enter into this New Year it is very easy to start formulating plans to help bring about God’s kingdom. However we will never be able to succeed at this because the Kingdom of God – His role and reign – is not something we can create.

Instead it is that which we are called to demonstrate in our lives and in the life of the church and community, even though we cannot bring it about in our own strength. Yet nor do we have to.

Righteousness.

Psalm 23 – He guides me in paths of righteousness.

I remember reading a newspaper article about a young man who collapsed at a disco. On examining the man, a medic found him to be wearing fifteen T-shirts, which had caused him to overheat. The young man had put on layers and layers of clothing to achieve look that made him feel better about himself. Ultimately it was this thinking that brought about his suffering, and embarrassment.

November News from Jo in Nicaragua

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.  Ephesians 2:8.

Dear Friends and Family,

I am enjoying life on Ometepe and am slowly starting to establish my role within the nutritional project.  Idalgo and I are still visiting the communities together, whenever we have the opportunity to do so, however the rains of recent weeks rather slowed things down, as many of the roads became impassable.

Face Off

Posted on by

EXPERTS in the cosmetics industry have been taken aback by recent research which shows that men spend more time getting ready than women.
After an extensive survey carried out for hotel giant Travelodge, figures showed that on average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming.
Despite women carrying out a more intricate grooming routine, it appears that men spend longer cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes.
Whilst men spend more than 80 minutes a day grooming, women have their beauty regime carried out in just 75 minutes.
