Foxfires heads UP

Hi all,

Again another massive year has passed for the Foxfire Ministry.

Though I would love to tell you some of the amazing stories of God’s provision, of hardship overcome and the courage and faith of our teams, the PowerPoint would go forever.

For some of our Foxfires it has been an enormously hard year. At points of the year we were wondering if the guys would make it and yet, I have been told of amazing stories of perseverance, reconciliation and God’s love prevailing. Ministry in Africa especially to young people is so challenging. We are blessed to have every opportunity.

Please find attached our humble report, I had hoped for a second piece of video but the footage could not be caught.

I trust you’re blessed this Christmas and we would be honoured if you would join with us again next year following the Foxfires ministry.

Every blessing

Ant

Hospitality: Part 2

What does hospitality look like for us at TenAM?What will hospitality look like for us at Rosalie ? In our church family, hospitality is part of our pastoral care of each other. Formally, with our welcoming team. Formally through morning teas and hospitality lunches. Formally with our network of small groups and through church events. Formally through playgroup, ESL, CRE etc.. Informally we show hospitality all over the place.

Hospitality is also an instrument of outreach. Hospitality is not about the food. Hospitality is about the relationships. I want to encourage you to get together with a couple of other TenAM people or families and host a breakfast, or host a brunch, or a BBQ, or an afternoon tea, or a meal, or a lunch, or a picnic. Bring your church family together with people in your network of relationships. We are calling people to be deliberate with their hospitality next year. Being deliberate with your invites and deliberate with your conversations. Imagine if we all did it once a term how many people we could bring into the orbit of our God and his church family.

Be deliberate about your diary
Be deliberate about your invitations
Be deliberate about your prayer
Be deliberate about your conversations
Be deliberate about your teamwork

Hospitality Part 1

1. Hospitality & God’s heart

All through the Bible, God loves the stranger. All through the Bible God encourages his people to love the stranger. for example Leviticus 19:34 says ”‘When a stranger lives with you in your land, do not mistreat them.  The stranger living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were strangers in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. In the NT the word translated 'hospitality' literally means love the stranger. We read "Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality:. Romans 12; "Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13. "We ought therefore to show hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth." 3 John etc.

As we work towards moving TenAM to Rosalie:

We want to be a community that loves as God has loved us.
We want to be a community that welcomes as God had welcomed us
We want to be a community that loves the stranger as God loves the stranger.
Sometimes that is uncomfortable, I was part of a small growing church where one of the old regulars grumbled to me “the new people don’t talk to me..” but The God of the Bible is a God of Hospitality. We are called to do likewise
