There is nothing quite like the baptism of recent converts for encouraging a church. That was the blessing enjoyed just two weeks before Christmas by Grace Church Wakefield, a church-planting venture from Dewsbury Evangelical Church.
Richard and Hannah are a married couple in their mid-thirties with two young sons. Church going had formed part of both their lives at various points in the past, but in recent years no religion of any kind had significant influence in their lives.
Their first contact with the church came after Hannah started to reconsider her conviction that she didn’t need God. While her life was busy and far from unhappy, she felt that there was ‘something missing’. Gradually she began to wonder if the root of her problem was that she had no kind of relationship with Almighty God.
