They were so keen to repent before a Holy God and invite the Lord Jesus Christ into their life (John15:16).<br \/>\nWhat a transformation going from death to life, suddenly having a love for God\u2019s word, being changed on the inside, experiencing floods of joy. \u2018O my soul like the sea billows roll since Jesus came into my life\u2019.<br \/>\nEven though this person suffers greatly they could still experience the joy and peace that came upon them (priceless).<br \/>\nWe were able to give them a Bible which was one of the many donated by a brother and it&#8217;s great to see they have a hunger for God\u2019s word &#8211; (names are not important).<br \/>\n\u201cI will sing the wondrous story of the Christ who died for me\u201d (us).<br \/>\nEcclesiastes 3:1 \u2013 \u201cThere is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:\u201d<br \/>\nWe are so grateful to the many people who support us with their time, talent and treasure.<br \/>\nMay the Lord richly bless you this Easter.<br \/>\nLove from the Team.<\/p>\n<p>Week of Witness<br \/>\nEaster is drawing very near once again and as an outreach we are continuing with the walk of the cross around the island.

The main task of the Godpod is to share the bible each evening to callers who come on board. We find sometimes people are very happy in their sins and resent the true word of love, joy and eternal life. People will seek and enjoy our company but would rather Jesus wasn\u2019t brought into things!<br \/>\nWe are never discouraged and we know that Satan has a lot of sway but we keep on sowing the seed of truth in all parts of this lovely island that God created. We pray that one day this seed will bring forth fruit so the unsaved will be redeemed and have eternal life.<br \/>\n&#8211; Bernard Penney (Trustee)<\/p>\n<p>Teaching Weekends \u2013 Paul Carter<br \/>\nThis year we look forward to receiving Paul once more for 3 weekends. Below is detailed the first of these. Further dates can be seen on our website www.godpod.org.uk. Anyone is welcome to come and join in with us. For more info please phone one of the team.<br \/>\n&#8211; Friday 26\/06\/2015 7.30pm Lake Green Mission, Percy Road, Lake.<br \/>\n&#8211; Saturday 27\/06\/2015 9.30am Lake Green Mission, Percy Road, Lake.<br \/>\n&#8211; Sunday 28\/06\/2015 9.45am Bethany Church, Union Street, Newport.<br \/>\n&#8211; Sunday 28\/6\/2015 6.30pm Lake Green Mission, Percy Road, Lake.<br \/>\nEaster Reflections<br \/>\nHebrews 12 vrs 2. \u201d Looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross , despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God. \u201c \u2013 NKJV.<br \/>\nThis statement is absolutely incredible that our Lord Jesus Christ was prepared to die for us and had counted it for joy that was set before Him. We can never fully appreciate what it cost Him or imagine the suffering and separation from God as he was bearing our sin. It is with a thankful heart that He deserves our worship and devoted service. May this Easter be a time of reflection and great joy.<br \/>\nMr A W Pink said \u201cTaking up my cross means a life voluntarily surrendered to God\u201d.<br \/>\nHappy Easter \u2013 Roy.<\/p>\n<p>Notice of Annual General Meeting<br \/>\nThe AGM will be held at Wayfarers Fellowship Chapel Castle Street Carisbrooke at 2.30pm on Tuesday 21st April 2015. All are welcome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures\u201d \u2013 1 Corinthians 15: 3, 4.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230;..He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.\u201d \u2013 Acts 17: 31.<\/p>\n<p>May the Lord\u2019s grace abide with you and your loved ones &#8211; The Team and Trustees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
