The Well Returns: An Invitation to Encounter God
The Well is re-opening!
Our prayer space for encounter and transformation. From Monday 16 to Friday 20 November, 70 hourly slots are available to book, either on our own with God, or taking a guest with us. This time we will explore our four Emmanuel values, humble, hungry, holy and hopeful. How do you relate to them? How are you engaging with them?
In the Bible, many encounters with God happened at a well. To invite you to set aside an hour.
Here are some Emmanuel stories from recent editions of The Well.
‘From the start, it was as if I’d stepped out of the world for a time with the Lord’
‘It was a fairly spontaneous decision to come in. I hadn’t booked a slot but one was available. Outside the door, I wrestled inwardly with thoughts of things that needed doing, my ‘busyness’. I’m so thankful that I walked in and closed the door.’
‘The films really cut straight to the heart and soul. Each stage of The Well took me on a profound journey of repentance, renewal and sending out.’
‘What a privilege, My eyes welled up at the start and continued. Feeling truly blessed’
‘Wow! I feel very different now.’ ‘He met me here today. Thank you Jesus.’
‘He said clearly to me, ‘I am here, I never left you’. I found myself crying.’
‘I feel broken and desperate, but I have the Lord to turn to.’
‘A feeling of my hands being held.’
‘I felt the words “Take my hand, let’s walk on together” Thank you Jesus for spending time with me.’
‘Thank you, Lord, for filling me.’ ‘I told the Lord all the things that worry me. He showed me he would always be faithful.’
‘Please saturate me with your Holy Spirit.’ ‘I’m challenged to be thirsty for more of him.’
‘I broke out in tongues several times, Alleluia, Amen.’ ‘A profound encounter.’
‘Thank you, Lord, for your forgiveness and love, and for the Holy Spirit.’
‘A fantastic experience for a somewhat lost and troubled soul. Lord, I believe you were with me.’
‘Fill me with your Holy Spirit, so I become fearless, and full of your joy and peace.’
‘Refresh and renew me as I seek your will; quietness with the Holy Spirit is so important.’
‘Overwhelming peace, release of emotions, letting go of past trauma. So much to take away from this experience. Amen.’
‘Without the Well, I wouldn’t be the Christian I want to be; praise the Lord.’
‘A wonderful hour of being with Christ’ ‘Went too quickly!’ ‘A great reassurance.’
‘A wonderful time of allowing the Lord to speak to my heart. Would have loved to stay longer!’
‘A chance to let my burdens go. Great feeling of lightness now.’
‘A beautiful, thoughtful space leading me through the journey of faith to recognition, acceptance, healing, forgiveness and sharing. All of this in just one hour.’
‘With joy, you will draw water from the wells of salvation.’
‘It is such a blessing to be with Jesus.’ ‘The Spirit is here; the harvest is ripe!’
