Shanti Nagar remembered

On Sunday 7 February, candles were lit during morning worship at St Andrew’s, to remember the vicious attack, 19 years ago, on the Christian village of Shanti Nagar in Pakistan. The village was devastated in the attack, but has been rebuilt and is supported, through prayer and gifts of money, by the congregation of St Andrew’s. Thank you to local preacher, Jackie M, for accommodating this ceremony in her service.

Prayers were offered by Alan S, Treasurer of the Shanti Nagar St Andrew’s Trust (a registered charity) and by Joyce D, wife of Saleem D, who is also a trustee. One candle was lit, especially to remember our friends in Shanti Nagar and another one for people of all faiths who suffer persecution for being in a minority in the country where they live.

The villagers of Shanti Nagar are still harassed by extremists, but they are encouraged by our support and prayers, and they continue their Christian worship and witness.

Martin B, St Andrew’s

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future. There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014.   Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward: We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the y...
