Prophetic Teaching Day on "Hearing
God"
9.30-3.15pm Saturday 31st July
at Downside Middle School,
Newport
Organised by Victorious Life Church
International speaker and prophet Rauna May,
currently based in Hawaii, will be teaching on
'Hearing God'
Rauna May has been in fulltime ministry
for over 35 years. Currently she is one of the
pastors at New Hope Christian Fellowship, a church
of 14,000 weekly congregants in Honolulu, Hawaii.
She has also taught as a professor at several
Bible Colleges. She travelled as an international
conference speaker and evangelist for many years
ministering by the power of the Holy Spirit in 117
countries. She has been in pastoral ministry for
the past 30 years and for 16 years, before moving
to Hawaii, she was the senior pastor of a church
that she planted in Vancouver, Canada. This church
had a widely impacting outreach to the poor, drug
addicts, alcoholics, and prostitutes and was
recognized and awarded by all levels of the
Canadian government.
Rauna has many inspiring stories on how the
Lord has used her to bring healing, forgiveness
and restoration in people's lives. Her teaching is
both clear and practical.
To hear some of Rauna's stories,
visit website
- How the Lord healed
her - Amazing words of
knowledge to bring healing and
forgiveness - How the
Lord gave her the ability to speak Spanish in just
ONE afternoon.

Calling all Cake Bakers!
 Bestival ( 9th - 12th
September) The Solace Tent will once again be appearing
at the Bestival music festival at Robin Hill
Country Park.
Hosted by Christians from a
number of Island churches, Solace is a completely
free chill out tent located within the festival.
It provides a chance for people to take a break
and have a free cup of tea and a slice of cake.
Other activities on offer include prayer &
healing, feet washing and our own open mic stage.
The vision behind Solace is to show
festival goers an expression of God's
unconditional Love and Grace for us all.
This is a gift from the churches on the Island.
Over the 5 years we have been running it the
response has been incredible and we are seeing God
at work more and more each time we do it.
We are appealing for some help in all
this as we need an army of intercessors and cake
bakers behind us!
1. PRAY - Please pray for the success of
Solace. For the team to serve well and for the
people who come to discover the reality of Jesus'
love and healing power.
2. BAKE some Cakes!
- We need as many cakes as possible.
 We very much value your support
- Thanks again for helping make it all
possible The Solace Tent Team Website or

Three Peaks Challenge for
Christians Against
Poverty 
On 4th September 2010, I am
participating in the National 3 Peaks challenge -
a walk up Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pyke in a
24 hour period. The aim of the walk is to
raise sponsorship with funds going totally to the
work of Christians Against Poverty. This
organisation aims to train people to order their
finances in a manageable system and to make
well-informed decisions about budgeting, cutting
coats, saving and giving. Through local
training courses of 3 weeks and subsequent contact
with trained money coaches people are supported in
getting out of and staying out of debt. More
difficult cases are dealt with through trained
debt counsellors. Many individuals have come to
faith as a result of attending these church based
courses. If readers would like to sponsor
me., they can do so by contacting me directly
or simply going to website. There are more
links to the CAP money website and more details on
the reasons behind the walk. Contact Dr David

The
Enneagram - What's it worth?
The Enneagram
offers a uniquely complete map of the
psychological forces in us - both the healthy and the
destructive. There is no aspect of life it doesn't
touch on. As with all truth, its honesty
is only for the courageous. But should courage be
found in you,
you in turn will find the Enneagram a great
friend.
This day in Cathedral House
and the cathedral will be given over to
consideration of the Enneagram, in its
various aspects and applications. Bring your
questions and discoveries.
It is a day both for those
who know nothing, and for those who know
something. No knowledge will be
assumed; but all knowledge will be welcomed,
deepened and
stretched. Time spent by you in preparation for
the day will not be time wasted.
We will each
bring what we can; and carry away
gold.
Simon
Parke was a priest in the
Church of England for twenty years, before
deciding on new adventures.
He then worked in a supermarket for three years, stacking
shelves, on the till, chasing thieves and chairing
the shop
union. He is now a freelance writer, consultant
and retreat giver. He writes a weekly
column for the Daily Mail called 'One-Minute
mystic', which
is also now a book. He has a weekly column in the
Church Times,
and his Enneagram book is called 'Enneagram, the
world's
greatest psychologist' (Lion). Simon has been
working with the Enneagram for something over twenty
years; and is still learning.

Ministries - School of
Ministries
And I, brothers,
when I came to you, did not come with clever
speech or with wisdom, declaring to you the
testimony of God. For I determined to know
nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him
crucified. And I was with you in weakness
and in fear, and in much trembling. And my
speech and my preaching was not with enticing
words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the
Spirit and of power, so that your faith should not
stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of
God. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Ignite

Peter

failures.

present a concert version with the help of a local

John
Quinlan RIBA Architect &
Artist 
Working between Freshwater Isle of Wight and
Beccles, Suffolk.
Hi,
My name is John. I have over 30
years of experience in architecture (and have been
a Christian even longer) with a good track record
on church and historic buildings. Part of my
time is based at Freshwater and I want to increase
it.
It is my hope that Islanders will come to
consider me as an architect they can call on for
church and historic building work together with
accessibility improvements and domestic
work.
You can call me on 01983 754975 or 01502
506542
Alternatively email me and I'll
get back to you. |
STOP!
Report
Well
the gigs are over and we're planning for the next
one!
We'll be returning to the Colwell Bay Inn
to do another gig in the near future - the date to
be settled yet.
But Both were successful
and we enjoyed seeing people enjoying our music!
One
lady came forward and told us she'd been distanced
from the Lord for over fifteen years and wondering
the country- and had felt so touched by some of
the words she decided to give her heart to Him
again. Many many of the people were non Christians
and made a point of telling us how much they
enjoyed it and asked when we would be playing
again -young and old seemed to enjoy themselves
and we ourselves felt awed that God was and is
using us in this way.
We
continue to pray for openings for the right '
Gigs' - where the Word can be spread and where
funds can be raised for the rest of the album to
be completed -and our aim- to be an ongoing
support to ' Aid to the Balkans', 'The Street
pastors' and H. M inmates on the Island prisons
can be totally realised.Thankyou to everyone who
gave us their support and we look forward to the
next one!
A
very special thank you to Terry and Chris Burke
and Martin for helping with all the printing and
stood for hours selling the EP's!!!!!!!!!!
YES! - Our EP is now out and we're selling it
at £3.00 each or two for  £5.00 (Buy one and give one to
a friend!) All funds going to charity as
previously
stated.
Four of our songs are featured- a taste of
good things to come!!! We hope you enjoy it!

adventure and return refreshed and
envisioned.
Not run as a commercial venture and we cannot
accept payments. Donations, however, are
always welcome!

Do you have a
Primary School Connection?
 Eg - Teacher, Support
Assistant, Governor
Over
the last few years the storyline of the Bible has
been taught to thousands of pupils in year 5 &
6 in Middle schools across the Island through the
Bible Explorer lesson material (Walk Thru the
Bible adapted for use with children). Using drama,
storytelling, and plenty of pupil participation
these lessons have been very positively received,
with feedback such as "most
looked forward to lesson of the week", "the pupils
and staff learnt loads and absolutely loved it!"
"Outstanding presentation, come back again soon!"
As
the school system changes we have the opportunity
to reach even more pupils in primary schools
through a growing team of presenters from the
IWYFC team and local churches.
This is where you come in , it's
much quicker and easier to get an open door into a
school through someone "on the inside"!
If you
have a strong link with a primary school and would
like to see a lively interactive presentation of
the storyline of the Bible happening in that
school please contact Chris
Reddecliff (Director of Schoolswork
