New Ground Sunday

Our fourth annual New Ground Sunday was on 11th June 2023. This year featured a variety of different videos from around the New Ground Family.

In resposne, we encouarged people in our churches to pray and also to consider how God might want them to give towards our work together. There are various prayer slides you can download and if you would like to give you can do so here.

Subtitles are available in a variety of languages (EN, FR, PT, DE and NL) – click the CC icon to see which languages are available.

Psalm 117

Many churches read this short Psalm as part of the call to worship or during their time of sung worship, getting multiple people to read it out in their mother tongue.

Andre & Lewis

Andre, from Hope Church Sevenoaks, and Lewis from King’s Church, Oxted, share an amazing story of how God used Andre to talk to Lewis when he was contemplating suicide, and the subsequent story journey as Lewis came to Christ and got baptised.

Let’s pray for more salvation stories in our churches, and for those impacted by mental health challenges.

Kenny’s Story

A great story from Kenny who goes to The King’s Church, Mid-Sussex in England, and how, through Hope Into Action Mid-Sussex, a partner charity to the church, he found a home, friendship and God’s love.

“There's a phrase I heard for a long time that I never ever understood until I came to King’s, and that is ‘God is Love’.”

Let’s pray for more life change stories as we reach and impact those in our communities.
