Groundwire Brings Hope Online
Posted in: Evangelism | Comments (2)
Groundwire Logo
Groundwire is a new mission initiative providing 1-to-1 chat 24/7, offering people online the opportunity to chat to a Spiritual Coach at any time of day or night!
GroundWire’s aim is to help those with spiritual questions to find Jesus and find a local church that can help them more. The emphasis is evangelism rather than counseling although pastoral advice and care is a natural part of the help they give. People come online with questions, fears and worries and we provide spiritual advice based on the teachings of the Bible – our main aim is always to show them the hope that comes from knowing Jesus.
GroundWire UK is looking to recruit new volunteer Spiritual Coaches so that the work can grow in the UK. They are also looking to partner with churches and Christian organizations who will promote the “opportunity to chat with someone who cares” facility from their website or on other literature that they give to those they are seeking to reach out to.
“We care and want the best for each person who comes to chat – we don’t ever want anyone to think they had nobody to talk to, nobody who cared, nobody who would listen.” For more information visit www.Groundwire.org.uk

Elections For Liverpool Mayor on 3rd May
Posted in: Events, Politics, Prayer | Comments (0)
John Manwell writes, “Liverpool and the surrounding region is about to make a significant change in government. This is a change which may not only change structure, but also change the political climate and the way things are done. As Christians, God’s people, we are ordained to pray for the leaders and those who hold power. Generations before us paid with their lives for our privilege to enjoy the democracy that we have. Surely we have a duty to challenge all those within our sphere of influence to pray and to vote?”
John Manwell introduces the hustings
Candidates at the hustings
With this in mind, TFH organised a hustings event a week ago. Interestingly, the word ‘husting’ comes from a root meaning ‘house of judgement’. The questions asked at the hustings event were drawn from the church across our region, and the candidates were given time to prepare and give their best answers.
The event was ably chaired by Christopher Gibaud
You can see a summary of the questions asked, and the candidates’ answers here: Mayoral Hustings – 18 04 12. Please circulate this widely within your church, and network, encouraging people to pray and to vote.
Also following is the link to the Bay TV report on the TFH hustings event – for you to see the event for yourself.
