So grab a cup and we’ll tell you the tale The legend goes that a goatherd realised his goats were particularly energetic after eating the berries from one particular plant. The plant had the same energizing effect on the goatherd, and so the tradition of drinking coffee was born! Why did we tell you that? Well turns out that goats are still changing the world!

14.01.2022 As we start a new week, take a moment to reflect on Isaiah 60 v1: Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. (Isa. 60:1). We can share His light as the world gets increasingly darker. If you are a believer, this is the time to demonstrate the joy, peace and faith that the Holy Spirit has deposited into you.... Think about how you can share His light this week, as you go about your daily life. https://aefi.asia//uploads/2020/04/REV_Lessons_Covid-19.pdf

10.01.2022 It is easy to feel alone and isolated at this tumultuous time, but following Christ is about community and unity. Even with physical distancing, its important we dont lose connection with others during this time. Here are some ideas on how you can safely maintain a connection with others during this challenging time: - reach out to elderly or unwell neighbours who may require assistance with groceries - sign up to our newsletter to keep up-to-date with what God is doing the... world (https://aefi.asia/news-and-events/) - get some friends together on Skype and pray for some of the things on our prayer list (https://aefi.asia/prayer-network/) Matthew 18:20 says For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. This is more important than ever to remember when your usual gatherings like church may be cancelled. You are never alone.
