“For I know the plans I have for you.”
declares the Lord.
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
Plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 [NIV]
Don't just believe it,
Happy New Year LifeWell!
Well it is 2016... isn't that crazy? In 2015 we have probably all experienced both happy and sad times. I know that I am not speaking for myself when I say I have seen God do amazing things this last year and I am excited to see what he has in store for 2016 and what His plan is for each and every one of us. Last year God spoke to me through the verse Jeremiah 29:11. This is a verse that I am going to carry with me into 2016 and the rest of my life.
The start of a new year gives us the chance to stop and look over the past year and see what we did wrong and reflect on that. We must learn from our past mistakes and use them to our advantage. God has a plan for all of us and it is our job to follow it.
God has great plans for us all, and things that we can’t even imagine doing now we might be doing by the end of the year because that may be Gods plan for us. God works in mysterious ways, let him use you. Lets live for God, spread his word and make 2016 a good one.

Jesus foretells the future (Part 3) - Matt 24:1-51.
“And wars will break out near and far, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must come, but the end won’t follow immediately. The nations and kingdoms will proclaim war against each other, and there will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this will be only the beginning of the horrors to come”
Matthew 24:6-8. [NLT]
We are living in times of many wars, famines and earthquakes. Jesus warns that they are signs of end times. When we consider the news broadcasts that hit our screens daily, we should be caused to recognise that we are living in end times. The disciples thought that they were living in end times and so we should even more so. We constantly are hearing of wars and famines and earthquakes all around our world. But Jesus does not issue these warnings to make us afraid! They are given as a warning so that we may think about our lives! So that we get our priorities straight! As time passes, we can lose sight of what is right and settle for what is easy and comfortable. Let’s face it these are two things that our society value greatly! We must be careful that we do not fall into the worlds way of thinking. For there is much to be done! And what is to be done is of eternal consequence!
Heed the warning! Don’t let time pass you by! Make your days count!
Live Mindful of Christ’s return!
EUROVISION
David Hathaway, founder and president of Eurovision to Europe is an International Evangelist who has ministered worldwide for 60 years. His vision is to evangelise Europe and the former Russian Empire - concentrating on the unreached areas where Christian faith has been almost totally lost. David's father was born in Morriston in 1892 and was here during the 1904 Welsh Revival after which he became a powerful preacher and pioneer of the Pentecostal movement. Being a great man of faith and prayer, William Hathaway was a strong influence on David. David has always chosen to live on the edge having taken amazing risks for God. He was miraculously released from a Communist prison, healed of Cancer twice and was almost killed on 5 occasions! He said that he would rather be in a storm with Jesus than live at peace without Him. During his many visits to Israel, he has had a tremendous response from Holocaust victims in particular. Many thousands have turned to Christ as a result of his ministry with many healings taking place in his meetings. In May his message was broadcast live on TV to the whole nation of Israel.
REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD
Please pray for:
1. Give thanks for the wonderful opportunities to evangelise in Israel, Ukraine and Slovakia this year
2. Pray for wisdom, courage and faith for those who are involved in the preparation of each event.
3. Pray for good health and protection for David Hathaway and his team.
4. Pray that God will provide all the financial needs of the crusades with all the rising costs.
