Cheltenham
The assembly at Cheltenham had their Annual missionary Conference on 16th January which was a tremendous challenge and encouragement with many aspects of the Lord's work reported on.
 Brian Howden (Angola), who visits as often as possible to take support in a practical and a spiritual sense to the assemblies there, reported on the efforts to build up the saints and give help in many ways.
Martin Baker (Eastern Europe) spoke of his frequent and recent visits to Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and other Eastern European Countries ministering the word and preaching the gospel, with salvation and baptisms following.
Harry Reid (Brazil) spoke of his visits to The South of Ireland working among Brazilians in one or two towns as well as his visits to Santarem in Brazil and in and along the Amazon with fellow believers there.
The Conference closed with a stirring report from Wesley Downs (Manchester) and his work among the disadvantaged, trying to reach them for Christ and engaging with them in practical ways seeking to show another side of life to those who are addicted to various substances incuding alcohol.
The Conference was so full of matters that sought our support in prayer and in practical ways as well and will be a springboard for the assembly as it engages with the work of spreading the Gospel around the Hesters Way Estate and further afield in Cheltenham.
The Lord was honoured and magnified by the way His servants reported on their labours for Him.

The assembly at Chappell Street invited Stephen Grant to conduct a series of gospel meetings in June. There was good support from other assemblies in Renfrewshire.The assembly was encouraged by the attendance of some from the town who must have been challenged by the powerful messages delivered each night. The gospel was also brought before the town in the many invitations distributed before and during the meetings. We pray that we shall yet see fruit from the seed sown.
