Manik Corea meeting: Abbeygate Two, Sat July 7th, 3-4.30pm
Manik will be back in town this weekend! Many of you will remember Manik from his time in Colchester serving among international students between 2000-2005. He has visited a couple of times subsequently including being the preacher at our tenth anniversary celebration last July.
We sent Manik and his wife Maple out with prayer in September 2005, just a week after they got married! As a church, we have supported them with both prayer and finance over the years while they were studying in Singapore then working with Christ Church, Bangkok. Now they have finished their term at Christ Church and are about to start a new church planting venture in Bangkok.
This Saturday, Manik will be presenting news about this new work of church planting in Bangkok, Thailand at Abbeygate Two, Sat July 7th, 3-4.30pm.
You are most welcome to hear what is going on; prayer partners are needed for this new venture which is a direct spin-off from Manik's experience of getting our church started here in Colchester 11 years ago. If you can't make Saturday, look out for Manik on Sunday and sign up for the prayer letter. Sadly (for us!) Maple and their son Josiah are in Asia and not able to travel with Manik this time.
