Some personal reflections by David Dewey
My first HEBA ministers’ conference in 2009 came just three weeks after my induction at Chester Road: everything and everyone was new. This time around – a year on – and I had the advantage of being able to put at least a few names to a few faces, even if it wasn’t always the correct name to the correct face! |

Honorary doctorate for former Serampore teacher |

A former BMS mission worker has received an honorary doctor of divinity degree from a university in India, with which he has been associated for the last 50 years. 
Edward Williams received his award from Serampore College on 6 February 2010, in Bangalore. He said, "this is a great thrill and honour, as the college is one of India's great and historic Christian institutions." Edward was asked to preach the 'commemoration sermon' (that is commemorating Carey, Marshman and Ward who founded the college in 1818). He says, "I preached to a congregation of over 800, what felt like the sermon of my life". |

Ground-breaking initiative to grow healthy disciples
HEBA is committed to encouraging spiritual growth and discipleship, helping people grow in their faith and train for service. From October, people can undertake BUGB-recognised courses at IMC in Selly Oak under a HEBA banner.
Described by a College Principal as "historic", the initiative came about as a result of conversations between Regional Ministers, BMS staff and the Principals of Bristol, Northern and Regent's Park Colleges.
The first module, "Getting ready for Sunday", which looks at worship and preaching, will run on Saturdays 31 October and 21 November. Please let people in your churches know about this exciting initiative. Further details from Andrew Millns or the HEBA Office. |

Home Mission - Shared Mission |

Home Mission is the way churches in BUGB support one another financially and share in the task of Encouraging Missionary Disciples. As you know, all churches are now encouraged to give at least 5% of their General Fund to Home Mission. It is clear that churches of all sizes up and down the country are in the main responding positively to this message. The evidence for this is a slight increase in giving nationally when compared with 2008. Very good news given the economic climate! As for HEBA ... well, the increase is above the national average. Giving to the end of June was £158,735 - nearly 49% of our target for 2009 of £325,000. The news reports say that with the rapid increase in unemployment, the West Midlands has been hardest hit of all the UK regions. Against this very difficult economic background we have much to be thankful for. Praise the Lord! Thank you so much for your partnership in the Gospel as we seek to bring the Good News of Jesus to this part of our nation! God bless! Keith Judson (For more about Home Mission click here.) |
