Persecuted Christians in the Middle East

The events in Iraq where indigenous Assyrian Christians are being persecuted; murdered and driven from their homes have at last been discovered by the BBC and Press in the UK. Most of the reports I have heard seek to make one excuse after the next for the intolerance of Islam, but Ed West from the Telegraph seems to have hit the nail on the head. You can read it here.

FIEC For a New Day

I recently attended the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) Leadership Conference in Derbyshire. There was great teaching from Ray Evans of Grace Community Church, Bedford and FIEC (in the form of John Stevens, Richard Underwood and Trevor Archer) set out a tremendous vision for independent churches working together for the gospel in the UK. The audio is available for you here. If you are an independent church leader in the UK, you really need to listen to this. By the grace of God, FIEC have a vision for today, why not consider becoming part of it.
