Video: Memories from Impact in April

Impact is an event which aims to enable young people to learn about aspects of running holiday clubs, and an opportunity for the team to be involved in social action projects in Tamworth. Watch the video below to get a good impression of what went on at the last event.

Impact is next scheduled for August 2011.

“…I left changed.”

Sonia Allen

I can remember driving past the Coton Centre when they first started building and saying to myself “I wonder what that is”. It was so heavy on my heart that I started to ask around if anyone knew. Finally, one day I was told it was a Church and I thought to myself “I’m going to try that Church one day”. Well that day came and when I walked through the doors I was on my own with 3 children and on antidepressants (all I wanted to do was close my eyes and never wake up). God touched my life that day and I left changed. I couldn’t wait to come back the following Sunday. God started to take me on a journey into the wilderness and many times I cried out to God to leave me but he picked me up and carried me. I came out knowing God more, loving Him more and knowing who I was in Christ. He has restored me and placed me on higher ground.

Isaiah 42:16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

God is sovereign, He had the full knowledge of my problems and the sorrows I was facing but He is all-powerful – nothing is beyond His ability to heal or restore. I love the Lord with all my heart and every day I can’t wait to spend time with Him and have that intimacy with Him. There is a part of my heart that finds more and more of God every day!

Psalm 116:1-2 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

There is never a day that goes by that I don’t feel his arms around me.
