Tonight was the RICE Vision Night. Gold! The aim of RICE is to “convict, mobilise, equip, train and revitalise the next generation to serve Jesus.” It was exciting to hear the work that God has been doing through the RICE movement over the past 7 years.
Two new arms were launched: Surge (on about helping people to discover their gifts and desires to serve Jesus) and Phase 4 (Raising up leaders and the planting of churches). We spent lots of time thanking God for the work he has been doing and praying that God would continue to work as Jesus is proclaimed.
