VC SUTTON SRI LANKA TRIP 2011

August 11, 2011 · Comments Off

On 12/8/2011, 12 of our Ignite youth will board a Sri Lanka airlines plane to spend 10 days in Sri Lanka serving God in an entirely new way to them! The experience, we hope, will be life changing – to those they meet and for themselves as individuals. We can’t wait to see what God will do with them and through them, and how they will bond as a team through their entirely unique experience. You can follow the teams’ progress on the new blog here: VC Sutton Blog Read More →

Painting the Feeding Centre Photos

September 12, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Today the team spent the afternoon sanding down, cleaning and then painting the feeding centre that the 2008 team built two years ago. Their initials still carved into the cement was a great reminder that Vineyard Church Sutton really has such a great connection with New Life Church here in Sri Lanka. Everyone got stuck in as you’ll see from the photos below. You can click each image to enlarge and look out for our esteemed leader Jon Franklin with his favourite Sri Lanka t-shirt back in shot! “Do More Than Just Watch….” and feel free to comment on these photos! #gallery-1...

Sunday Wake-up

Just thanking the Lord for sustaining me through the Vineyard conference! I found it a challenge and had a dicky tummy for 2 or 3 days!! We took part in the Makhundura Vineyard meeting today (Sunday). We were only fractionally late for a 9am start and it didn’t feel like 2 and a half hours+ duration, but that’s...

We are hear with Mike and Rona from Colorado Vineyard and with representatives from the 3 Sri Lankan Vineyard churches. We...

Paradise Road

Been a couple of days since my last blog. The time has been really packed in with activities until today (Wednesday). So, last night we were at a New Life Church homegroup again. Because we got lost we missed the worship but it was really good to share with and pray with the group, especially for Sassi who is in charge...

The Road to Negombo

So I took the team shopping this morning to Paradise Rd and Barefoot (some of you will know where they are!) – and they picked up a few gifts, and in the afternoon we headed up to Negombo. Sanna has been very supportive of the second half of our trip – and as he often does, has been generous in supporting...

Is it Really Only Tuesday?!

Where do I start? We have packed so much into the last 2 days-painting, prayer groups, prayer ministry, meeting the children at the feeding centre…… my head is so full of stuff that it is hard to remember everything. I think the highlight for me so far was seeing the children, even though I was so busy trying to...

Jez’s Blog #2

OK Sue and everybody else out there…Today’s a sensible blog. There have been two occasions to date on the trip here where I’ve been close to tears – a rare thing for me if truth be told. The first was shortly after the church service last Sunday. We had de-camped back at our lodgings, actually Pastor Sanna’s...

Day 3 Quick Summary

Yesterday, we went back to the feeding centre that the 2008 team built to finish painting the metal mesh and to see the kids using the centre in it’s daily use. Seeing them receive their food and getting to meet some of them was a privilege and I dont think is something that we’ll forget. It puts the whole...
