The latest copies of Counties News and Counties Praise & Prayer Diary are now available to download.

Tim Cracknell recently reported that a church member brought her neighbour to Forest of Dean Community Church recently, and the person requested to know more about being a Christian. Subsequent follow up revealed she was already a Christian! Just that she had turned away from Spiritual things in her teens and now 40 years later felt Christ's call upon her life again. Praise God she has now come back to God.

Steve Morley met and encouraged a young girl at a church weekend away in 2008.  This year he learnt, to his joy, that she's off to Bible College and claims that his words inspired her!

A lady with Special Needs at a home Jonathan Brain visited the other day suddenly shouted out that Jesus is coming back soon and will judge the world!  It was truly an awesome moment, made everyone stop everything, and gave me a great opportunity to witness to folk all about being ready
