Together at the East
phil | 11 November, 2009 8:09 pm |
We have just completed three days of remarkable conference here in the UK at the “Together at the East” conference arranged as a gathering of the churches in the leadership sphere of Mike Betts and his team.

There were more than 1200 people staying in a holiday camp facility at Pakefield. This was the second year of the conference which will undoubtedly be repeated next year in the light of the impetus of these meetings.
Worship was dynamic as different worship bands led the meetings and bought us into the felt presence of the Lord. There was a strong missions emphasis that came through and every meeting had a spot highlighting church planting families connected via the “relational missions program”. One evening Jeremy was able to join the meetings via Skype and share the ongoing vision and progress of our home church Mosaic in Lethbridge Alberta. Mike Betts opened the meetings with a strong message taken from the Transfiguration, about “God Moments”, and we certainly had lots during this time. |
| Terry Virgo spoke for three sessions around the life of Elijah and gave some tremendous insights into being a prophetic people and the power of prayer in a crumbling society. These messages are downloadable in audio format at www.togetherateastofengland.com and available on video since the meetings were all video recorded. There were those that found Christ during the gatherings and much fellowship was found between those from the churches attending which represented more than 30 fellowships in UK plus those from Turkey, Poland, Denmark, Germany, who were also present. Julian Adams and Keith were joined by Mike Bollinger, for prophetic ministry to the Elders and wives and along with others bought prophetic direction and insight during the meetings. The vision of Church planting was strong and Mike Betts laid foundation for an offering to assist those involved with the “Relational Mission” church planting. As a result an impressive offering came in that will ensure the practical help of pioneering church planting families in the next year Keith and Terry Virgo had a couple of pivotal hours together praying into the things of mutual concern, and sharing hearts and vision together. Thanks to all for your prayers. We have undertaken this trip in faith having regard to Novas health issues and God has helped her much. And afterwards We continued the week with meetings in Lowestoft, Peterborough and Blyth Valley before returning to the UK in early November. Love and blessings to you all Keith & Nova |
