 Bulstrode redevelopments
It can be easy to forget the sheer amount of work that is required in order to fulfill the vision God gives us to redevelop WEC's headquarters. Much of the work is hidden from view, some of us only smell the new paint and see the freshly painted walls.
For those who are not familiar with this vast property, the scale of the work is staggering. We estimate that we have completed about 4% of all the work needing to be done. That can either make us feel quite daunted, or we can take each day at a time, commit ourselves to faithful obedience, trust the One who is faithful, and press on!

'Wow what a weekend! Lovely people, beautiful grounds, helpful chats, great fellowship and helpful answers.'
'We were able to ask many of our questions and be encouraged by meeting others with a similar perspective.'
'Thank you for the Mission & Me weekend – it was fun! I enjoyed
meeting so many others who were also finding out about mission, and hearing how I could play a part in His mission too.'

 My faith is nothing more than the single-minded and persistent pursuit of a person, the author and perfecter of my faith, Jesus.
Reading through the gospel accounts, I was struck afresh that I do not 'know' the Jesus that was being spoken of. Though I enjoy what I take to be a vibrant and living relationship with Him, I realised there is an 'otherness' about Christ.
I have 'met' this Jesus at times, when I have prayed for people who have been healed, when people have been saved as I have preached, or when other miraculous things have happened, but I desire to know Him, the One I read about in the gospels, in an ongoing and increasing way.

God's BHAGs: HQ update August 2008 |
|
|
|
|
 Have you ever come across the term 'BHAG's? This is a management term which I have also read in a number of Christian leadership books. It stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goals!
In the business world it refers to setting targets that are well above anyone's expectations and then working as hard as possible to achieve them. I suppose BHAGs inspire some people and bring out the best in them. They will lead others to give up before they start!
A BHAG speaks of having an expansive vision of a preferred future which
keeps everyone working together. Some give their whole life to ensuring
that we all choose a particular soft drink or designer label or car you
know, all the important decisions in life!
