God has Good News of saving and loving grace for everyone in this city of Cork. It has always be a prayer heart beat of ours to see every person, every family and every neighborhood throughout this city to hear in both word and deed a credible witness to Jesus Christ our saviour. It's our commission to reach-out & make disciples (Mt 28:19-20) of Jesus who love God & love people (Mt 22:37-40). Then to work with Jesus the master builder to gather disciples into a local Christian loving family as he continues to build his church (Mt 16:18) - this is God's will and our calling.
We must GO and beat with his heart beat, to pray, to encourage and to do what's on God's heart; that is a the harvest and care for lost & harassed sheep that are without a shepherd (Mt 9:36-38). If it's in our power to pray, or to encourage others or even to go ourselves and be the hands of Jesus to his people, then its imperative we do so.
The north side of the city has too often been neglected when it comes to church planting. Sometimes the south-side or city center has been the choice. Appreciation and thanksgiving for those who have such as Gerry O'Mahony and are today such as Denis Dune - but so much more has to be done. God desires to reach the lost where they live, it is for us to go.
At Good News Church a conversation has begun about going & planting a church on the north-side. We are sense God's heart for the people, his love for the hurt, harassed and broke. His desire to see them all in a loving relationship with Him and each other.
But such a conversation is first with God in prayer. Praying along with Jesus to the Lord of the Harvest that workers be sent into the harvest field and shepherds to care for the sheep.
So if you're interest in praying, encouraging or even going together with us, let us know ASAP. If you would like to earnestly pray for the north-side, a prayer meeting is held at
Tim and Sinead's home,
27 Glenfields Park,
Ballyvolane, Cork.
Thursday nights at 8pm.
