It was a wonderful time of worship, hearing God’s Word preached, building new relationships and also strengthening existing ones with fellow REACH ministers. The Lord spoke very clearly through the three sermons from Philippians and it was not hard to miss the great emphasis on the importance of demonstrating our common partnership in Christ.
