Dear Subscriber First Name,

It’s a huge privilege to share with you some wonderful news!

This month sees the the adoption of not one, but TWO churches into Relational Mission family - Martham Community Church (Norfolk, UK) and RhemaFaith Church (Ndola and Lusaka, Zambia)! Join me in celebrating these wonderful additions.

Brothers and sisters from Martham joined Kingsgate Community Church (Great Yarmouth) earlier this month to be officially welcomed in and prayed for by the Kingsgate church family.

Andrew Scott (elder at Martham Community Church) sent the following message to us:

Hi, from all at Martham Community Church! We are a village church with a big vision for our local communities in this part of rural Norfolk.

Excitingly, that vision has got bigger after being welcomed into the RM family by many church members, leaders and apostles, from various RM churches. Looking forward to growing the relationships as we go forward together!

Brothers and sisters from the Church in Bassett Street (London), along with David Bareham (Community Church Chafford Hundred), flew out to Zambia this month and were delighted to officially welcome RhemaFaith into the RM family just yesterday!

Gift Kabwe (elder of RhemaFaith, and far left in the above photo) shares the following:

I am super excited about what God has finally fulfilled for RhemaFaith Church. I am now at rest, knowing that RhemaFaith Church, the Church of Christ, is surrounded and protected by a large family of churches. We are no longer alone and independent, but interdependent with the rest of the Relational Mission churches.

Since the start of RFC, I have never believed in standing alone. My fear was seeing the church die because of limited capacity. But here we are! No any more! We will thrive in the diversity of this family of God.

I believe that God will also use RhemaFaith Church to be a blessing to other churches as we join this beautiful family. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us.

On behalf of the church, please receive an African shout of joy, and thank you so much for accepting us and making us part of RM.

Blessings,
Gift

We will be blessed by the unique grace each of these churches carry - and may they be blessed by us in return. Join me in praying for these church families, and if you’d like to send through messages of welcome, reply to this email and I’ll be delighted to pass them on.

Blessings,
Tuuli (on behalf of Relational Mission)

Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ…standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.

Philippians 1:27 NLT
