Grace Church Sydenham – Cornhill Missions 2/7
The Core (final year) Cornhill Students recently went on Missions mostly in the UK but also overseas. It is a chance for them to experience different ministry contexts and be blessed by a local church congregation and be a blessing to them in return. We asked the mission teams to write a short report about what they got up to.
We give thanks to the Lord for a packed few days at Grace Church Sydenham. Our trip included a Vegan and Superfood Bistro event, coffee cart street evangelism and church family ‘billet’ dinners.
As a team we learnt about the importance of being ready to suffer for the gospel. There were lots of occasions where we were rejected by people at their front doors, or rejected while flyering in the freezing cold and rain. However amidst this hardship we also had the absolute joy of sharing the good news of Jesus with others who were seemingly more open – there is a profound joy in evangelism!!
We were also greatly blessed by the incredible hospitality and rich fellowship we enjoyed with the church. This taught us much about the unity that strangers experience when they have Jesus in common – we were so grateful to them for welcoming and loving us so warmly.
Please pray for Grace Church Sydenham and also for our Core Students as they consider their next steps after the summer.
