Thanks the Lord for the Kerygma bus!

Meet the team of the Kerygma bus and some of our parishioners.

Colin, Henry.

We are so fortunate that the Kerygma bus comes to Hixon every Tuesday.

This was Pentecost Sunday and Colin visited us at church. Colin told us he started the Kerygma' bus ministry project in Easter 2006. Together with a team of volunteers, he has used a double-decker bus to deliver RE lessons sharing the good news about Jesus with thousands of schoolchildren, as well as working with detached youth in towns and villages.

These photos  go back to the 13th Jan 2009 and it was a little bit cold in spite of the heating being full blown. The bus is always full of children .

It comes a time when you have to stop dreaming that you are going to spread the Good News around you, instead you have to get up and do it, you have to do something about it.

Praying and reading the Bible help finding out in which direction the Holy Spirit guides you. Telling people about Jesus our Saviour. Every Christian is equipped with the necessary tools for spreading the Gospel and it is a question of knowing their strengths.

Somehow, I always go back to the parable of the sower. The good soil has been prepared by brothers and sisters in Christ who have not given up but persevered and kept on spreading the good news!

18"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 

19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 

20 The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

 21 But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

 22The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

 23But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

Matthew 13 :18-23
