BESOM NEWS AND STORIES - 2010-02-27

Hello - we are very haphazard at writing newsletters - if you would like to be on our mailing list please e mail wokingbesom@hotmail.co.uk saying newsletter please!

Besom always has good stories where we see God working - very exciting.

David was out on the van one day dropping off lots of furniture to a single man in Goldsworth Park. Shall we put this hi fi on the van? asked one of the team. No harm said the rest. They delivered the furniture and David asked the man if there was anything else he would love. Do you know, he said, I really miss my music! Well wouldn't it be wonderful if we found a hi fi on the van! said David

Besom runs by prayer. We don't ask for anything, but pray and worship the Lord, and give Him our lives. We pray and sing and listen every Wednesday morning in the warehouse. All welcome. At the moment there are about 10 of us.

The Lord sometimes answers before we have asked. A play pen has come in, the only one we have ever had. A girl has been referred who would love a play pen, which would enable her to go into the kitchen without having to watch her toddler all the time.

Yesterday we did an assessment with a social worker who referred a family to us. We found the mum in tears. Her husband had just lost his job that morning, leaving them with nothing. The nan was there and said - I told you something would happen! Besom walked in, and listened and later that day delivered a beautiful three piece suite, promised a table and offered to decorate the living room. God is interested in people's hearts. He has compassion, and gives hope. And His timing is perfect.

Someone has given some money, so we were able to buy a new cooker for a family, whose cooker is dangerous. They grew up in care, and have no background of family, so are doing family without a pattern to follow. Social services had run out of money. We provided a new cot mattress and cot, beds for the children, chests of drawers, a wardrobe. Hope! They look happier. We would love someone to write a simple recipe book for us to give them!

A group decorated a lady's sitting room. Before they started that morning, they had breakfast and prayed and the leader of the group said: I don't know what we are going to do about the door. All bashed in from the violent partner (now left) Oh said one of the group - I can hang doors. And what they didn't know, but God did, that when they removed the old door, all the memories left with it. The lady never touched it, it had such bad memories.

Another girl said to me: what is a little thing to you, is such a big thing to me. I get up every morning and can open my curtains. They run on curtain tracks now. And we gave her beautiful curtains. We are looking for a group to put up curtain tracks and hang curtains, maybe on Saturday mornings.

So God bless you all - what you do makes a difference. We bring HOPE in Jesus name.
