The new buildings for Bulstrode, the UK headquarters, are nearly finished! The building company, Tuskar, has done an excellent job.
God, in His faithfulness, has provided all we need. Our Father has provided £1.35 million so that we might fulfil His will for WEC UK. In today's financial climate this is staggering! Please take a moment to praise Him for His faithfulness, and take this as an encouragement to your own faith.
Now, though, it's a transition time.
We shift our focus from the new buildings and turn to the redevelopment of the existing facilities at Bulstrode. We need to refresh the vision before us and hold on to the strategy that the Lord has called us to fulfil. It will be costly and exhausting. Commitment always is.
So what is the next step?
The vision for the redevelopment of Bulstrode can be summed up as follows:
Bulstrode is to be a centre where Christians can come, meet with God, and be inspired with missionary vision and zeal.
To do this we need to:
-
Develop existing facilities here at Bulstrode and new programmes of activity or events.
-
Develop new organisational structures within WEC UK and Bulstrode to enable us to run these new programmes or events.
-
Deepen our resolve to know personal and corporate renewal—ultimately it is 'Christ in us' who affects change in others. Events or facilities will not be sufficient on their own! We need to be renewed daily, passionate in our own pursuit of the Lord and in our desire to see His name glorified throughout the world.
We live in very challenging times. Yet we are trusting that through this redevelopment the Lord will raise up an army of His people from here in the UK who will intercede for the remaining unreached peoples of the earth, and commit themselves to fulfilling, as quickly as possible, the command to evangelise them.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17
