In September 2012 Bless buddy Isaac Sampson will be moving to South Africa. He writes: This September I am going to an area near Durban in South Africa to work in a centre with boys aged sixteen to eighteen who are at risk of going to prison for a variety of reasons. The centre is there to try and help these boys off this path and onto a path that is better for themselves and also for their family, friends and community. It is with a educational gap year charity called Project Trust. If you fancy donating some cash to his cause or to find out more then please click here.

Coming 4th February 2012 The Day After Tomorrow, It’s Not the End of the World For years people have been predicting the end of the world in 2012. This is the year the ancient Mayan Calendar ends, but for many other reasons it has come to be seen as the year of the apocalypse. Christians, too, have joined the clamour, proclaiming various dates for the world’s end. Even those who don’t have a specific date in mind for Christ’s return live, in a many ways, as if it is imminent. The one thing we lack as a church, it seems, is a long-term plan.  But what if it isn’t the end of the world? What if we all survive beyond this year and must plough on for decades more, facing up to the problems and pressures of our world and coming to terms with the disasters we have created? What would you want the church, above all else, to do? What priorities of God’s mission would you address? What kind of church do you dream of for the day after tomorrow?  We’ve asked 12 creative and innovative leaders to answer this question, and we’ve given them each 12 minutes to share their answers with you. Blesstalks will give you the opportunity to hear from some of the most significant thinkers in the UK church, and to discuss their conclusions with them. Each 12 minute talk will be followed by time for questions. What will you be doing, the day after tomorrow?

The Day After Tomorrow, It’s Not the End of the World

For years people have been predicting the end of the world in 2012. This is the year the ancient Mayan Calendar ends, but for many other reasons it has come to be seen as the year of the apocalypse.
