Dear Praying Friends of C and M Heritage Ministry
It has been a busy three months since we were last in touch in the middle of February. We are very encouraged by the further renewing of past links alongside the creation of new ones, further action taking place and the refining of the various pages that went live at that time. It has been a little like ‘snagging’ to ensure that everything works in all circumstances, and we are always grateful for new ideas on improving the presentation.
As all the main tabs on our website are now live, we are gradually adding extra material to the lower levels of the Ministry Pages listed here. The content of these lower-level pages may need to remain as hidden pages a little longer, only accessible through special links in these newsletters, as we gradually add enough material to make them public. But, bit by bit, they should give you a foretaste of new material and changes made.
In this Newsletter
New books launched
Cliff’s 2 new volumes of Today with Ezekiel were launched on the 11th April. The report of the event and various other files are stored here on the News page and there is a separate link to the recording taken at the time which is stored as a private video on our YouTube account, but supporters can access it by clicking the link here. We are still working on ‘tagging’ otherwise known as cross links to other relevant pages.
Website updates
Both the Heritage Testimonies and Memories pages and the Resources pages have now taken significant steps forward: The ‘memories’ contributions we have already received are currently displayed in seven different sections. You may have had difficulty finding your own contribution to this page because they were listed under headings only. Contributors’ names have now been added to the titles in the scroll-down list on the right of the page, which should make it easier to find a particular entry. You can now also be in touch directly with Angela if you are stimulated to add more.
The Resources tab reveals even more Books containing expanding details and now previews are being added and even one or two leaflets will be going up shortly. There are an increasing number of Magazines as 19 years of Church Growth Digests have been added, plus some of the fascinating supplements on specific aspects should also be going public shortly. These are all thanks to the persistence of Neil Harvey who has been using the Ministry A3 scanner in Gloucestershire. However, we now need to purchase some new software which allows for searching and find someone else willing to help us do this in future.
Other volunteers have been digitalising audios and videos which still need checking and cataloguing before they can go live. Lots more help of a different kind is now needed! – See the Practical Support page.
Our financial year runs as a calendar year, and at our last Trustees meeting we had a very encouraging AGM where we reviewed our 2023 activities and also made many decisions on the way forward. One of these was to upgrade our keeping of database records (they are rather spiralling out of control!).
We will continue to send these quarterly email newsletters to all our supporters who are able to use the internet. But in order to keep in touch with many of our older supporters who do NOT use the internet, we will also be sending out a Ministry Annual Report. Please contact us if you know of anyone who would like to receive this ‘snail mail’ newsletter.
News on More Focussed Themes
As we gradually add material to our website, we are happy to give our supporters a few extra private insights in advance into not yet published sections on the website. Below is just one link from this section but please sign in and give us an address to have access to a number of other on-going reports and news with links to the ‘not yet generally visible’ pages: Most of these will be made public at a later date.
- Former Co-workers Memories: Those involved in active ministry with us in the past are growing fewer and many have gone on and made their mark elsewhere. Prophecy Today is carrying some memories and a tribute to an unexpected loss in the recent passing of Ray Lewis CBE viewable here.
Zoom interactions
Subscribers to our regular newsletter are invited to Zoom gatherings from time to time. If this is something that you are interested in, you may like to subscribe, using the link to the right of this page.
And finally....
We are always grateful for your involvement and help of any kind and are mainly dependent on the practical help of volunteers and financially on the unsolicited gifts from donors. We thank God every day that, as we are not growing younger each year and no longer travel far, we are still able to retain our links with you in many ways and especially through this newsletter, Zoom, our virtual office, and our website.
Bless you all in the days ahead,
Cliff and Monica, Angela, Jenny, Tony, Kathryn plus all those sharing in creating this changing face of C and M Ministries.
