Want to find God in Belgium? Get on your bike!

Thanks to Incarnate Network for sharing a video about a unique ministry in Belgium.

According to the intro to the video: 'Moto ConneXion is a missional church plant for the open road, a motor bike church. The church meets regularly for road trips to seek Christ. Every trip is a double journey: a ride on a motorcycle and a spiritual journey. During the day the riders gather at pre-determined stops for a Bible reading, meditation or prayers, then back on the road where the rider is left alone in his or her helmet. It sounds almost monastic..."

But it doesn't look monastic! Brooom brooom....

Take a look at the video here

Need a hug?

If you really really need a hug, then Peterborough in England is the place for you. BBC Newshas discovered a new city centre ministry there based on, well, hugs!


"The Reverend Chris Duffett said: "I'm known as the free hug man. I'll hold a sign saying 'free hug', and I've hugged thousands of people." "

Art during church?

A few weeks ago we had 6 baptisms at the morning service of the church I attend. I was asked to do art during the service as part of the worship experience. Here is what happened...

















The people at the end were selecting images that represented either things they had been set free from or things they had been set free into through new life in Christ. One person picked a penguin. I am still trying to figure that one out!
