City Temple Cardiff

Earlier this month Pastor Steve Harris completed 10 years of service on the pastoral team here at City Temple. Over those years Steve has made a tremendous contribution to the church, particularly in the areas of evangelism and children's ministry and now in the leadership of the Beacon Church in St Mellons. We thank God for Steve, Myra, Daniel and Suzie praying God's blessing on them as they continue to serve with us.

You may remember that before Christmas we shared how members of City Temple were making a difference this year by not sending Christmas Cards. It may sound like a story from the Grinch but we can assure you that it definitely was not.

The Love in Action project raised a total of £728 which will be used to provide three homeless families in the Philippines with homes! Now, that's a nice Christmas present isn't it and shows just how simple it can be to change people's lives. So don't worry if you didn't receive as many Christmas cards last year...

We have had an extraordinary week! The conference "On Earth as it is in Heaven" with Bill Johnson saw the church packed from Monday night to Wednesday night with delegates from all over the UK, despite the snow falls.

Many were greatly strengthened and encouraged as Bill taught God's word coming in advance of his Kingdom through us and as he encouraged us to move out as carriers of Jesus' presence and power into the city and the nation.

In the midst of the conference Bill reintroduced the power of testimony. Whenever we give testimony to what God has done, we declare in fact what He is able to do now. Testimony draws from us belief and faith for the situations we are in now and will be in. Testimony therefore has a prophetic effect - the same God is able to do the same things - what He's done for me, He can do for you and what He's done for you, he can do for me!

Along with the inspirational teaching there was also very powerful worship and many healings, with over 90 people professing to have been healed from physical ailments. It is important to realise though, that the God who was present at the conference is the same God who is present  in our daily lives. He is not bound by the walls of the church building!

If you weren't able to attend the conference or you simply want to hear his talks again you can order them on CD from our office for £30.00 for the set of 10 or £4 per talk by calling 029 2038 7741 or e-mailing: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
