Setting up ‘Encounter’ Groups
Many people have been greatly blessed by discovering the reality of God’s presence through what we have come to call an ‘Encounter’.
This is an exercise which follows a simple pattern of resting in the love of Abba Father, finding the presence of Jesus, and speaking and listening to him. This is something that we encourage people to practise on their own and in groups.
