Hi, I'm David Edwards, pastor of the New Testament Church of God, the Lighthouse Centre in Crewe, Cheshire.
Today, we are here at the UCB Leaders' Day event, where I feel so refreshed and uplifted and encouraged.
And really, that has been my experience of UCB. UCB has supported me
throughout my journey as a believer. As a young Christian, I received the Word For You Today.
And then as a youth leader, I was able to distribute the Word For You to many of
the young people whom I served. And now, as a senior Pastor, I am able to use UCB's resources
to help in the local church ministry in discipleship and evangelism. Jesus, when he was speaking
to his disciples in John 4:35, said, 'Lift up your eyes and look to the fields, for they
are already white for harvest.' Jesus was challenging his disciples, to have eyes that were
lifted up and that were directed toward the white fields of the nations of the world.
And today, we want to have the same vision as Jesus; to see that the time is now, that
we should reap the harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God. And I know that this is UCB's vision.
This is at the core of their vision. So today, I am appealing to you to support
UCB by giving financially so that we can fulfill this vision.
