The Connecting Well
We would like to welcome you to our Blogspot where you will be kept up to date with what is happening at "The connecting well" in Rockingham.
Zechariah 2 vs. 4, 5 ~Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. For I say the Lord, will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.
“The Connecting Well”
Facilitators Bill and Linda Brown and team, under the Apostolic oversight of Pastors Phil and Jeannette Howell.
Vision:-
1. To see Jesus exalted.
2. To bring unity in the Body of Christ ~ unity in the community of believers.
3. To come together as a living breathing Body with all parts working together.
4. To see people function in the capacity that God has ordained for them.
5. To build relationships, with consideration, honour and respect for our God given talents and abilities, and for each other.
6. To provide a place of love and comfort and rest for the weary, where we can be encouraged to “run the race” with passion and zeal.
7. To be “well connected” to The Lord first and each other. Jesus being the author and finisher of our faith. ~ Divine connections are so important!
The Lord has placed a deep desire in our hearts to see the people of the body of Christ come together in unity. We believe it is a God given cry from the heart of the Father to His children, to lay aside doctrinal differences and walls of opinion and accusation and false perceptions which the enemy has used to keep the church apart, and to come together as a living breathing Body with all parts working together ~ the Head being Jesus Christ Himself.
It is a vision which does not exalt anything other than the Name of Jesus. It is a vision that does not put man or woman on a platform or in a position where the gifts and callings given to each one are exploited or abused in any way.
The vision that lies in our hearts is to build relationships between people in the Body of Christ, with consideration and honour and respect for our God given talents and abilities and for each other. We believe that we have much to offer each other as friends and brothers and sisters in the Lord. It is important that our needs are met spiritually because only then can we become effective for Christ, and made whole as a person to do the will of the father.
When we come to a place where we know that there are arms of love and comfort, no condemnation or judgment, no fear of intimidation, or pressure to give, financially or otherwise, then we will have a place where the Love and compassion of Jesus is found, and we will learn to walk in the Love of God and be able to give it away to others who need it.
If we can provide a place of hope, comfort and rest for the weary, a place where we can be encouraged, where the hand of friendship and acceptance is always stretched out, where we can find new friends within the Body of Christ, with no ulterior motive to fill a building, with no ulterior motive to entice anyone away from their own place of regular fellowship, but to be a refuge of rest, comfort and love, sensitive to each other, then we will be able to bring others in to feel that love and bond we will share. All that the Lord is looking for is a place where He can come and place His feet….. we need to build that place through the Word, worship and Prayer, through becoming mindful of the needs of others in the community. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, He did not come for those who are well; He came to set the captives free... that we could be free to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, the reality of who He is being evident in our everyday lives.
It is time for the Body of Christ to lay down the walls that divide, and come to the banqueting table of the Lord, to fellowship one with another, to be able to express what is in our heart, and to honour the Lord Himself. Let us link arms together for the Lord to build His Kingdom on Earth.
How?
Holding meetings once a month where all are welcome to come to receive a fresh touch from Jesus, to be refreshed, refilled, and refuelled to spread the good news of the Gospel in the community. To build a House of Prayer, Praise and Worship, to see Jesus Glorified in this city through worship and the Presence of God. To become Living stones and wells full of “Living waters” that build the Kingdom here on Earth. Nameless, faceless believers who love the Lord, and just want to meet with Him in a “church without walls.”
