May 1999

May has arrived and with it the Season of Pentecost!  Pentecost is the Birthday of the Church. The first Church in Jerusalem 2000 years ago was marked by a new way of life, revealed by Gods LOVE , POWER & DIVINE ORDER.  In 1999 many non Church goers think those days are past and that all Churches are marked by falling attendances, little Love or Power and with leaders who do not preach or believe the basic MORAL and SPIRITUAL truths of the message of JESUS CHRIST.

At EPPING FOREST ELIM CHURCH we are glad to be a Bible believing Church, part of the world-wide explosion of Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches.  Just among the Elim Churches in the U.K. during the last ten years there have been 200 NEW CHURCHES OPENED!! More than 3 a month!!  Here in Epping it is great to have new friends joining the fellowship month after month. Sharing in the FAITH of Christ , finding a place in Gods FAMILY and growing in the FIRE of the Holy Spirit. You are very warmly welcome to the life and activities of the Church. 

P.S. - A Special welcome to the team of Elim Bible College Students working with

us this month.  Jean Fayard / Jason Still / Simon Bell - Welcome to Epping Forest!

Best wishes also to Jane , Pam and the boys as they fly out to Zimbabwe to

help at the orphanage.

A Promise to the beleiver - " He ( Jesus ) will baptise you with the Holy

Spirit and with Fire!" Luke 3 v 16.
