Using Psalm 18 as a guide, Ed Marsh gives examples from his own life when he has found prayer to be a way of praising God even in the storms of life.

Global Partners Sunday

“Be My Witnesses”

To mark and celebrate Global Partners Sunday at Highgrove this year, we had a ‘four-for-the-price-of-one’ talk!

Ed starts by introducing the importance, relevance and Biblical imperative of being witnesses in the world to the love of God.

The incomparable Jonny Wells then asks Denis and Charmian, our Global Partners based in Peru, about the work they are doing and how they have seen God work.

In this talk, you will:

  • Join in with Jonny’s Peruvian Quiz!

  • Learn about Denis’ epic trek through the jungle,

  • Hear Charmian explain why it is always ‘worth it for the one’.

How do you reconcile belief in a good God with serious disease or illness?

Diagnosed with leukaemia (ALL) when he was 6 years old, John Clarke finished his three and a half years of chemotherapy treatment in November 2018. We were delighted to hold a special Thanksgiving Service to celebrate the end of his treatment. This video features some words from John and his sister, the talk given at the service by Ed Marsh and an interview with John's parents, Mike and Naomi.

If you are struggling to reconcile your Christian faith with illness, disease or a challenging time, this video will encourage you. Filled with the sort of practical advice that only comes from "going through the storm", this video reminds us that God is kind and that He can be trusted through even the very hardest of times.
