WWV is a church which seeks to serve a wide geographical area and is made up of lovely people like you, however we also know that the gospel is for everyone and hopefully you are excited about sharing that wonderful message, like me.
I think we all realise that it is going to take prayer to change our area and Martin Scoitt in his book ‘Sowing Seeds for Revival’ suggests we should invest some time into learning about the places we live; we should find out its history and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal His heart for our towns and villages. This is sometimes called ‘Spiritual Mapping’. Victor Lorenzo says that spiritual mapping combines research, divine revelation and confirmatory evidence in order to provide complete and exact data concerning the identitiy, strategies and methods employed by spiritual forces of darkness to influence the people and churches in a given region.
I live in Bradford on Avon and have spent some time looking at our town’s history and began to pray into what God might want to do here. I would love to invite other towns and villages to do a similar thing and to then share their research and impressions so that we can collectively start to pray for God to break through into our area. If this is something you would like to do I am happy to share the document I have put together for BOA and to give you any support I can.
I’m new to all of this but sense it could be an exciting journey to embark on. Do email me here and I will respond ASAP.
