As summer fades thoughts turn to autumn…and WPI is no exception!  So  far we have one evening meeting scheduled in this autumn.  This will be a time when we can share the journey of living as a Christian in the workplace and in business.  Journeying Together includes times of worship and prayer, times when we can make contacts (it can be a lonely world!), share thoughts, consider the impact of the Bible on how we do our work and hear each others stories.  Please come ready to be heard!

On Monday, Watford School of Leadership are hosting a free open lecture on prayer, with Gordon and Rachel Hickson. Gordon is the associate pastor at St Aldates in Oxford.

Gordon and Rachel worked alongside Reinhard Bonnke and the Christ for All Nations team in Africa. In Zimbabwe she almost lost her life in a horrific car accident. This incident birthed in Rachel a desire to pray and to train others to realise the full potential of a praying church. After returning from Africa in 1990, Gordon and Rachel pastored a group of four churches in Hertfordshire and it was during this time that that they established Heartcry Ministries with the call to train and equip people to be released into effective prayer and intercession for their communities, cities and nations. heartcryforchange.com

Along with this, Rachel and Gordon work on many projects, one of which is a london prayer network which links churches trhoughout London LondonPrayer.net

Rachel is also the author of 4books: Supernatural Communication – The Privilege of Prayer, Supernatural Breakthrough – The Heartcry for Change, published by New Wine Ministries. Stepping Stones to Freedom and now Pathway of Peace

The lectures run all day from 9.30am till 4.30 pm, 4 lectures in total. If you’d only be able to attend for one lecture, this may be possible; please contact Stella Riggs at WSOL to book your place and if you want any more information. stella.riggs@wsol.org.uk
