The Dearings are on the move!
For some time Jo and I have felt it right that we should look to move on from our work here in Niddrie to new pastures and ministry opportunities. Over the last 8 months we have sought the Lord and explored, in faith, a number of different options. One of which is the possibility of leading a team to church plant in deprived area of north Birmingham. So it is with great sadness, but also excitement, that we let you know we will be finishing our work in Niddrie at the end of July, and moving to start this new venture in September. We hope to be able to tell you more details about this church planting project at a later date, and would very much appreciate your support and prayers as we move into a new chapter of our lives and ministry. We hope to take what the Lord has taught us here in Niddrie, and use it for the furtherance of the gospel in Birmingham.
We would like to express our thanks to Niddrie Community Church for the friendship, patience, and encouragement that we have both received. We will greatly miss our friends here, the fellowship, and those we have come to know through our work in Niddrie.
We hope to keep you updated on our adventures, challenges, and encouragements, the Lord takes us through over the coming years through this website.
Jez
Love to both of you, and to those you will be leaving behind in Niddrie.
