Ireland
Harold Agnew is the Director of the Inspire Core Team in Ireland and is drawing together a new Team to guide Inspire in Ireland. In June, Phil and Samantha Meadows spent several days visiting with Irish Missioners, and a number of Inspire fellowships during their June visit to Ireland. As usual the Spirit was moving and we celebrated miraculous answers to prayer, healing, deepening friendships, and the blessing of bearing one another’s burdens.
Wesley Pilgrimage, Swanwick
Phil and Samantha Meadows visited the Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick, UK, on 10 July 2019, to share Inspire with 30 visitors from the USA who were on a Wesley Pilgrimage organised by Discipleship Ministries in the USA. It was a wonderful time of teaching, sharing, and ministry as people learned about the Wesleyan DNA of Inspire and were challenged to reflect on their own discipleship as well as there contexts in which they serve.
Inspire Steering Group
The International Steering Group of Inspire is a group of Inspire Missioners who give oversight to the whole of the Inspire Movement and help to keep the vision of Inspire pure. They meet twice a year to seek the Lord, receive prophecy, pray and discern for the growth of the Movement. At their meeting in June, the Steering Group celebrated the Missioners who are co-working with us in the coming year, talked about the developments in the three emerging Core Teams, reviewed the financial health of the Movement and continued to discern the balance between strategic organisation and following the move of the Spirit to grow a Movement not build an institution.
Leeds
On 20 July 2019, Phil Meadows preached at the induction service of Matt Wright, Inspire Missioner and Baptist minister at South Parade Baptist Church in Leeds. The congregation were challenged to long for more of God, and Matt will have the opportunity to follow up as he heads up the small group ministry in the church.
