”Jesus’ Courageous Faithfulness” | Jack Sara from REVIVE 2023

This is our Summer Series on Talks and Seminars from REVIVE our annual festival bringing the churches of the network to a field in Canterbury for a weekend of Bible Teaching, Worship, and great fellowship together as churches. This one is from Jack Sarah on Matthew 26.

Jack is the President of Bethlehem Bible College (BBC). Born and raised in the Old City of Jerusalem, Jack studied at BBC after committing his life to Christ and his teachings. He soon became a member and leader in the ministry of the Jerusalem Evangelical Alliance Church, who in turn recognised his gifts and calling and encouraged him to go and study further for the work of the gospel. Acting upon this directive, Jack went to the Philippines to study at the Alliance Biblical Seminary, where he earned his MDiv degree.

Upon returning to Jerusalem, he began ministering with his church and teaching at BBC. After serving and leading the church for 13 years as a senior pastor, he, and other like-minded leaders, saw the Alliance Church become a church-planting movement and a catalyst church. It reaches out, through a variety of means, to the Palestinian people and Arabs with the love of Christ. Rev. Jack holds a doctorate degree from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in Missions and Cross-Cultural Studies. He travels around the globe, teaching about missions and cross-cultural work in the Middle East, and is a coordinator for the World Evangelical Alliance for the Middle East and North Africa.

”Real Rest” Part 2 | Carolyn Lacey from Co-Mission Women’s Day 2023

Today we'll hear Part 2 from a talk by Carolyn Lacey at Co-Mission Women's Day this year. We're praising God that over 500 women gathered from around London to hear God's word, worship together, and listen to an encouraging talk. The topic this year was "REAL REST".  Thanks to all the ladies behind the scenes who helped make Women's Day happen. 

Within each of us is a deep longing for rest, but it often feels far out of reach. Our culture tells us we must strive to earn the rest we seek, but Jesus invites us to lay aside our striving and come to him. He alone offers real and lasting rest that will satisfy our weary souls. In our two sessions, we will see how Jesus fulfils our longing for rest and how he equips us to live and serve out of the rest we find in him.

Carolyn lives in Worcester with her husband, Richard, and their grown-up children. Richard is the
lead pastor of Woodgreen Evangelical Church, and they have served in pastoral ministry together for
22 years. Carolyn works part-time as Woodgreen’s Women’s Worker and regularly teaches at
women’s events and conferences. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, running and reading
historical fiction.
