It’s rare that three worlds collide at once. But that’s what happened this weekend, and it was glorious.
--------------------------------------------
In 1970 as a brand new Christian, I found myself walking
home when a girl called Linda shouted out to me ‘Hey are you a Christian?!’ The
big ‘Jesus Loves You’ sticker on my bag was the giveaway – these were the days
of the Jesus Revolution, Larry Norman, Arthur Blessitt and …. Jesus stickers.
I admitted I was and as a result, Linda introduced me to the
Streetly Evangelical Church Youth Group. It was there that I was befriended by
Alan, later my Best Man, and by Godfrey and Sue.

On Wednesday 5th September 2012, I met a guy
called Jonathan Conrathe for coffee (I keep a daily diary). I’d been asked to ‘sus
him out’ as he and his wife Elaine were joining the church I was part of at the
time. Nearly ten years later and I have the privilege of serving him as Team Pastor for Mission24. I
guess I must have sussed him out then….
---------------------------------------------
On Sunday 27th May 2018 (yes, that diary again!)
Roh and I walked in to Chroma Church Leicester for the first time and instantly
felt at home. Having had to leave our last church we were a little bit fragile.
Juliet spoke with us. She had a prophetic word for us that we’d got our answer.
Not knowing our story, she was so accurate. Our answer was Chroma.

Three worlds colliding in the most amazing of ways and all on
one weekend.
When worlds collide, creation results.
To be working with friends old and new. To see the
synergies; to see the friendships forming, to see God glorified is just wonderful.
And all I can do, with a grateful heart, is to worship the One who created the collision.
