This morning, I had the privilege of praying with some friends of mine at the Out 4 Good Project house in Colchester.
This is a house for young men who are recently out of prison, who want to live a life free of drugs and crime.
There is a growing support network of people from the church in Colchester who will support these young men in their brave walk.
And the house has just opened this week!
It's so exciting to see how God is providing through His servants and through us, the church!
We read from James and prayed together.
I was touched by this passage from James 1: 16 - 17;
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like the shifting shadows.
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
It's wonderful to see the firstfruits that God produces in our obedient lives.
Out 4 Good is a pilot project that will be rolled out to other towns in the UK, if it's successful here. What other first fruits can you see in Colchester?
