CARDIFF STREET PASTORS COMMISSIONING EVENT.

People in the church are responding to the call of God in their lives in new and fresh ways. Recently three of our ladies have individually recognised God's call to them to serve Jesus in the community by being involved in the Cardiff Street Pastors scheme. Rachel Long & Leigh-Anne Davies signed up to be Street Pastors while Christine Holmes has signed up to join the Street Pastor base team. All three ladies are therefore now working one night each month (Friday or Saturday) between 9pm & 4am when along with other Christians they patrol the streets of Cardiff, caring for those who need help and showing God's love in both practical and Spiritual ways.

On Saturday 24th April 2010, at a special Commissioning service,having completed the first part of their training, Rachel & Leigh-Anne were formally commissioned to serve Jesus as part of the Cardiff Street Pastor scheme. Present during the service was Temp Assistant Chief Constable Josh Jones, who praised the work done by Street Pastors and assured the new Street Pastors of the full support that already exists between the Police and the church as together they seek to help those who get into difficulty late at night on the street of Cardiff.

Rachel went straight from the Commissioning service to join her team on patrol but was so excited after she got home at 5am the following morning that she still came to church that morning buzzing with the things that happened during the night before. She was just so amazed at the responses that she received from those she interacted with during the night, by the desire to be prayed with and the needs that she saw as people just expressed their search for and need for love in their lives.

Please pray for Rachel, Leigh-Anne and Christine as they follow Jesus in this new Mission opportunity.
