| Phuket Christian Centre - 21st Anniversary
|
    | On Sunday 21st August PCC members gathered together to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the church. An excellent programme had been put together, co-ordinated by Pastor Nok and other leaders. For the very first time in the history of the church, Pastors Brian and Margaret were told that all they had to do was turn up at 10.30am!!!We were treated to special items from the various age and language groups that make up our international church: The men did a drama, the ladies performed a dance and the children sang a special song. In addition to this the Thai Cell Group performed a drama depicting the events of the arrival of Pastors Brian and Margaret in Thailand, the start of the church in Phuket and the early days. Together with these items there were testimonies from various members, starting with Pastor Nok who has now been ministering at PCC for 19 years and others representing our churches and congregations at Prathong Island, Baan Kate Asajaan, Pastor Glenn Ferrer representing the Filipinos, and Pastor Zaw representing the Burmese. Pastor Peter Jenkins, from Renewal Christian Centre, UK, sent special greetings and a key momento was given to each guest to signify that we have now come of age and have been given the keys to the Kingdom of God.At the end of the celebrations a huge cake was brought out, which was cut by all the pastors, after which a meal, cooked by various members of the church, was served while we enjoyed a time of fellowship together.Amidst all the tears and laughter as memories came flooding back, there was much praise and thanksgiving to God for His goodness and faithfulness over the past 21 years, and a sense of anticipation of what lies ahead, and we believe that the best is yet to come!!! |

| Phuket Christian Centre Retreat, 13th - 15th April, 2011 - by Margaret J Burton
|
 The Mandawee Resort and Spa, Krabi was the setting for our Church Retreat this year, and a bright sunny morning on 13th April found many PCC members at our meeting point at Sussex House ready to travel in convoy to Krabi, on the Thai mainland. The theme of the retreat was "Family", and right from the start it was evident that there was a sense of excitement and anticipation of what the next few days held in store for us. We enjoyed times of fellowship, fun, good food, and relaxation together, and were refreshed as we felt God's presence with us. During the ministry times we heard Him speaking to us, challenging us, comforting us, encouraging us and as we renewed our commitment to Him, and to each other, we came away blessed in mind, body and spirit. To find out more about what happened, please read the following testimonies... read more...

 In February Pastors Brian and Margaret were in Hong Kong for 10 days intensive ministry, once again at the invitation of Barbara Chan, Harvest Evangelism, Director for Hong Kong, ministering together with King Flores, Harvest Evangelism, Director for the Philippines.We began our ministry on the Saturday with the Transform Our World Seminar at the International Christian Assembly, and Brian spoke there again at 2 services on the Sunday. During the week we met with pulpit and marketplace ministers at various venues around Hong Kong, including lunch and dinner appointments. It was encouraging to see that the seeds that had been sown on previous visits were coming to fruition, and a deeper understanding of transformation was taking root in the hearts and lives of those we ministered to.It was a joy, once again, to renew fellowship with Pastor Wong and her leadership team in Tin Shui Wai, no longer the 'city of misery' but 'the city of Joy'. We heard incredible testimonies to the goodness of God as a result of their prayers of peace and blessing over their city. The following Sunday found us ministering with her husband, Pastor Cheung, and his leadership team in Shatin. We even got to join in with his birthday celebrations, when the leadership team brought in a surprise cake for him during the afternoon break!It was a privilege to share in the lives of all those we met during our visit, and encouraging to be part of Transformation Hong Kong!

 In January we were in California for 2 weeks. A six hour stop over in Korea on the way, where we saw snow that told us we were headed for a much cooler climate! Despite the weather, however, we praised God for the warm hearts that welcomed us everywhere we went. God had promised us His blessings on the trip, and He was indeed faithful to His promises every step of the way. read more...
