PRESS RELEASE
As Pastor David shared on Thursday 1st February after our Bible Study & Prayer Meeting,
the Church is relocating. Our current place of worship now has a new owner.
Therefore, at some stage during the month of February, we will be 'transitioning' or moving
in a phased way to the new location.
The new location is just round the corner from where we are currently worshipping.
Some of you may remember it as previously being the Cafe-Bar a few years ago.
God has shown us favour. In His Providence, He is caring for us His sheep &
we continue to experience what a Good Shepherd He is!
It will be a 'phased' transfer where we could be worshipping one week where we currently are &
by the next week we may be worshipping in the new venue.
Please pray for this move to be smooth, incident-free, & that we keep our eyes on Jesus
as we take the next step forward in faith & continue to share in His Mission
along with our Spanish brothers & sisters too.
When we know more details, we will share them with you.
God bless you all,
Pastors David & Rachel Kuru
If you wish to support us at CWC, Playa Blanca, click on the ‘Support us’ button above.
Directions of how to get to our new venue at Virginia Park (behind the Virginia Oasis Reception building) can be found on the 'FIND US' link .
We look forward to worshipping Jesus & meeting for fellowship with you then.
One Love in Jesus,
Pastors David & Rachel Kuru
On Saturdays at 11 a.m. at La Rustica Cafe in town there is an opportunity for both men & women
to meet at our combined coffee morning (opposite the Catholic Church).
From Monday 8th January to Sunday 21st January we will be devoting time
to Prayer, Fasting, & Seeking God.
Our focus is to come into alignment with God's purposes for revelation,
rather than seeking to make resolutions.
It is a time to seek a fresh release of the Holy Spirit's life & power,
as we encounter God in a fresh way.
Please think about what this time would look like for you,
whether you are able to fast from food, social media and/or TV.
And intentionally setting aside this time, making space for God & seeing Him
reset our hearts towards Him.

Pastors Newsletter
Dear Friends,
We trust that you had a lovely Christmas time and that it was :
“A Merry Christmas and not a messy Christmas!”
As we are all just about to enter a New Year, Rachel and I would like
to share some thoughts of encouragement with you.
Firstly as we all reflect on 2023, we are so grateful to our faithful God.
For many individuals, it has been a year of many trials, tests, and even challenges in relationships.
Dependence on God and His promises, and perseverance have been key
to navigating through these unexpected scenarios.
In His unchanging character, God has demonstrated that even in our places
of hurt and hardship, He has not abandoned us.
The second thought is : how God has been using these trials and our unwavering trust in Him. What is God saying to you in these times?
As a fellowship of believers, let us remind ourselves that God uses trials as a means
of drawing us closer to His heart.
The Father’s heart for you is to transform you into the image of His Son.
Spending time with the Lord - “unrushed lingering moments”- can help us listen in
to what our Father is saying.
It can only refresh and restore our spiritually parched souls and show us His perspective, according to His Word that is alive and powerful.
Thirdly, we believe that God is continuing to bring this fellowship into times
of refreshing, restoration and revival.
He is the God of newness, providence, and miracles.
As we seek the Blesser, His favour and blessings will follow His people
undoubtedly who are called by His name.
He wants to do so much more in 2024 ….. as we look to Him in 2024
In 2024, we are believing that God will do so much more than we can ever imagine or think.
So let us seek to be ‘renewed in our minds.’
A change in the way we think will change the way we act and react towards God,
others and circumstances and life.
May we be conformable to His ways, rather that preferring our own comfortable ways.
Romans 12:1-2
‘Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God's marvellous mercies?
To surrender yourselves to God to be His sacred, living sacrifices.
And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights His heart.
For this becomes your genuine expression of worship
Stop imitating the ideals of the culture around you,
but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.
This will empower you to discern God's will as you live a beautiful life,
satisfying and perfect in His eyes.”(TPT)
Our prayer for you in 2024 is that you will allow God to do a fresh work in your heart,
changing you increasingly into the image of Jesus.
And that you will move from beyond trusting in what God can do (God's capabilities)
to resting in His character (Who God is) and experience more of Him in 2024.
Pastors David and Rachel Kuru
