Each Christmas since 2015, we have been blessed to have been able to give selection boxes to all the men in Maghaberry Prison. Over the next few days we will be working alongside Prison Chaplaincy to distribute over 1,400 gifts throughout the prison. Will you join with us in prayer? That each man would personally know the true love and hope of Christ this Christmas.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ Matthew 25:34-40
This Monday night concludes our year of prayer outside Belfast City Hall. We would love for anyone who has joined us at any stage to come and give thanks to God, for all that we have seen Him do over the past year. We believe that God is calling us back to our own community and to fully give all of our time to step into what’s planned for 2025. Stay tuned for updates in the coming months. We continue to declare that Jesus is King over this land!
“Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!” Psalm 126:3

On Saturday 23rd December we partnered with Ditty’s Home Bakery, Castledawson to give out 100 turkey dinners throughout the local community.

A big thank you to Robert and Helen and their team for supplying us with each of the dinners.
Each Christmas since 2015 we have been blessed to have been able to give selection boxes to all of the men in Maghaberry Prison. We had the opportunity once again to work with Prison Chaplaincy to distribute over 1,200 gifts throughout the Prison. Our prayer continues to be that each man would personally know the true love and hope of Christ.
In addition earlier in December the Maghaberry choir took part in the annual Prison Carol Service. Choir continues to be an opportunity for men to gather and worship together twice a month on a Friday morning. This is also a place of encouragement, support and prayer.
Please continue to remember this outreach in prayer.
On Sunday 29th October we gathered together in unity and with ONE voice! We walked through the streets of Belfast City Centre declaring Jesus is King! Outside Belfast City Hall, the gospel was shared, we worshipped, repented and prayed together for God to move throughout this land. To view the full recording of the prayer gathering click here. Let Your Kingdom Come!
We believe this will be a once in a generation event; an opportunity for people, young and old, to humbly gather shoulder to shoulder, in unity with one voice to pray about all that is happening throughout this land and to it’s people. It’s time!
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:5-6
Save the date, plan to attend and please help us spread the word!

This past weekend we delivered 100 turkey dinners throughout the South Derry community. This time of year is difficult for so many, will you please keep those who are struggling or are living alone in your prayers at this time. A massive thank you to Robert and his team at Ditty’s Home Bakery, Castledawson for supplying us with each of the dinners.
To You Lord God our Eternal Father,
On this most precious day,
For all the people of this nation,
We are gathered here to pray.
As we bow our heads in sorrow,
We repent of all the wrong we’ve said and done,
For the agony, torture and most brutal death,
Which we caused Your Beloved Son.
As we look across our land today,
We see the destruction caused by sin,
So many people have turned away from God,
And allowed Satan to walk right in.
Even though Jesus had tried to warn us,
The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy,
Sadly this is becoming more and more evident,
As the months and years go by.
And yet despite what’s going on around us,
We gather in strength and not in fear,
For we place all our trust in Jesus,
Who is the source of our good cheer.
For this battle has already taken place,
Two thousand years ago at the cross,
It was Jesus who rose triumphantly,
Leaving Satan to suffer the loss.
So if we choose to confess that Jesus,
Is our risen Lord and King,
Then I believe that our Heavenly Father,
We give us a brand new song to sing.
It will be a song about the great revival,
That will spread to every corner of this land,
When all the people united in one belief,
That God’s Kingdom was now at hand.
A song of a God so rich in love,
Towards a people who had turned away,
Yet He waited in patience, in love and hope,
That we would come back to Him one day.
It will be a song of a nation transformed,
To one of gain instead of loss,
When all the people put their trust in Jesus,
And His finished work upon the cross.
Amen
