Bicycles Received with gratitude

In Issue 19 of Imagine we wrote of a Centenary project to bless the Congolese Church with gifts of 100 bicycles for pastors and 100 Bibles for the Bible School. We are delighted to report that some of both were delivered earlier this year.
At the church centre of Ibambi, as part of the 'Centenary Prayer Walk' some of the bicycles were handed over to a grateful church. Senior church workers laid hands on the bicycles and prayed over them that they would be used to bring people to Christ.
Bibles Too!

Celebrating by Giving

As we celebrate our Centenary this year, there are many events planned and resources created, but here is a really practical way that one of our teams in North Asia has begun celebrating.
They decided to celebrate 100 years of WEC by distributing food and clothing to 100 underprivileged people in their city and to share Jesus' love with them.  As winter temperatures ranged between -20 and -30 degrees Celcius during the day, warm clothes are a necessity.

The Harvest Is Ready - 33 days of prayer for people without a Church

WEC is an organisation grounded in a dependence on God, as seen in the constant prayer of WEC members. Started as a ‘faith-based’ mission, C.T. Studd and his fellow workers knew that the gospel was more important than personal comfort, and that prayer was a crucial underpinning of having both a dependence on God and a heart for the lost.

Bikes and Bibles in the Congo

It was 1913, and CT Studd and Alfred Buxton had entered Congo and were to pass through the territory of a fierce tribe. They were heading hundreds of kilometres west to an area where a large population of many tribes was unreached by the gospel. “You’ll never come through alive,” a trader warned them before they left.CT’s reply was, “They’ll be too interested in our bicycles to do anything to us.”
“Bicycles!” cried the trader, “so you mean to say you are going to bicycle through the jungle?”
