It is finished, his head dropped and the last breath of mortality was drawn. Jesus the Saviour, King of the Jews, Mankind redeemer. Yeshua, the seed of David, the son of God. Dead! Yes he once raised the dead. But now his last breath is gone. His mortal spirit departed on the cross. His dying words; IT IS DONE!

To Him who is able to do immeasureably more than we ask or imagine..." Ephesians 3:20

Thank you to all of you who prayed for the Flame team in Nzara, South Sudan. The team stand in awe of the Lord who brought healing spiritually, emotionally and physically to hundreds of people of the area. We arrived to be told by the Bishop that the people of Nzara had lost hope due to the lack of action by the Sudanese Government and the constant killings by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). When we left, there was very definitely hope and a desire to press on towards the goal which is heavenwards!

Rita Hart is a great person to talk to. Just being in her presence makes you smile. You wouldn’t be able to tell it by her appearance, but she has quite a story to tell. You could say she was brought up in a Christian home, but that would not be completely true. Sadly the only person who was not a Christian in her immediate family was her father. He had served in the Navy and was unfortunately a mental wreck. He would go out almost every night, get drunk out of his mind, and when he came home poor Rita as a child had to witness this example of a father. She was often beaten for no reason.
