Here's an awesome, Holy Spirit inspired prayer, written in the 24-7 prayer room in Turkey in March 2009.So I’ve been asked to look and listen to what you hear and seeBut my gut reaction is to look at everything naturallyI put myself in the midst and think to myself, well, what do I see?Well, it’s a big cityAnd it all seems fine, and if I look with my mind’s eyeI just sit, and wonder whyCoz, this

Here's Carla's reflections on her visit with us at the end of October;"Personally I enjoyed going to Colchester, it was good to be back there and great meeting people I haven't seen in awhile.

BIG thanks to Tina for these reflections (and encouragements) on the Transit Pilgrimage week;"Travelling to Colchester I didn’t expect to change or experience God in a new way. Carla asked us to spend the weekend before we went praying about God really using the week to stretch us and change us, but I mostly forgot to do that.

Pete sent me some thought provoking stuff on mission centred community, from Frontier Youth Trust...I think from some teaching from Mike Frost.Here's an extract with some suggested practises for a mission centred community...Post a comment if you have reflections on this.(ps Colchester Boiler Room Community is not committed to these practises....yet?!)

This week has been an exciting week for us at Colchester Boiler Room Community.We've been hosting Carla, Tina, Gemma and Charl from Corringham Boiler Room Community. They've come on pilgrimage here. And they've been joining our rhythm of prayer. And encouraging prayer in new places and fresh ways.It's been great to meet them. And be inspired by their faith and energy (and jokes!).Here's some pics

Here's an extract from reflections that Mike left with us, before leaving for his mission in North Africa. I think it's all the more valid because of how he has chosen to go and follow Jesus.... (Mike and Nicky doing abit of movement and pilgrimage in Liverpool...)"Since being part of Boiler Room Community, I've realise that movement and pilgrimage is more than just moving house or travelling

I found the Prayer for Muslims prayer room an inspiring place. We heard stories from several friends about their experiences with Muslim people. I was inspired to keep on praying for blessing for Muslim people.Also last week, I helped to set up and guide people at the Sanctum "sacred space" in Alderman Blaxill School. It was a privilege to meet the young people, and talk to some of them about God

We made it!Liz, James, Katy, Ian, Helen, Esme, Lewis and I made our pilgrimage across the Dengie Peninsular. We walked 9 miles to the chapel of St Peter, built by St Cedd when he arrived to bring the Gospel to the East Saxons in 653. We prayed and read the Bible at points along the way.We also use the Midday and Evening prayer from The Northumbria Community Celtic Daily Prayer Book.And we met

Last Wednesday a group of friends from Colchester Boiler Room Community made a pilgrimage down the A12 to visit friends in a Romford prayer community.And what a welcome we received!

On Saturday, Carol and I journeyed to Guildford. There we met about 40 others from Guildford, Cambridge, Southampton, Belfast, Devon and elsewhere. We had come to hear stories from Kansas City Boiler Room Community. It was great to see Nate and Marissa again from Kansas City, and also to meet Adam, their friend and co-leader.

I am reading an inspiring and challenging book "Not Religion but Love" by Dave Andrews.He writes about his belief in following the radical, nonviolent and sacrificial example of Jesus.

Last weekend, I visited Shropshire - land of rolling hills, wind and rain... and... snow! I joined other believers for a training conference for voluntary work with a Chiristian company either overseas or in UK.These other people were really encouraging. I'm more and more convinced God chooses people who seem ordinary or clearly not naturally qualified for the job. The Bible is full of them...

Julian of Norwich wrote of three "wounds" she came to desire in 1373."...by the grace of God and the teaching of the Holy Church I conceived a mighty desire to receive three wounds in my life: that is to say the wound of very contrition, the wound of kind compassion, and the wound of steadfast longing toward God."What "wounds" would you desire to carry for Jesus?

Sarah Steigman and friends sang carols, read accounts of the Christmas story in the Bible and then she shared personal thoughts on what the light of Christmas means to her. Afterwards we were served mince pies and hot drinks. We offered prayers and continued to share personal testimonies with patients.One woman told us of her spiritual experiences and hearing God through dreams. She told us of a

I've just come back from Mersea Island where I've visited The Gift at West Mersea Free Church.It's a really good creative journey into the Christmas story.I particularly liked (although was moved by!) the part that looked at our brokeness.I also liked the part that reflected on Jesus being born into a refugee family. And then gave information on the many refugees and Internally Displaced People

Here are my friends, Norman and Jennie. There were two of 18 Street Pastors who were out on Friday night 11pm - 4am.And we were backed by many friends in the church who were praying for us.Thank God He gave us a spirit of boldness to go out. I did feel nervous, because it was the first night out in our Street Pastor uniforms. But I was also really excited and buoyed by having so many friends

On Saturday Jean, Mike, Katy and I got up too early.But we were full of excitement because we went to Reading to meet up with other people who do 24-7 Prayer from around the UK. (here's some picture of them...) It was inspiring to hear stories of how God is leading people to pray and live out their prayers across the UK. I especially remember stories from Matt and Ali from Cornwall who have an
