It can seem hard to know whether our prayers for others are heard, or even answered. Yet despite the sporadic nature of our prayer life, we can know that God hears and responds, as we see in this story from Rev. Ana Fletcher, from St Peter’s Anglican Church in Gonville, Whanganui.

An increasing amount of people within our movement are choosing to live in missional communities, centred around corporate prayer, hospitality and mission to those who are vulnerable. 

Empowering people just by drinking coffee? It sounds like a stretch but Whanganui priests Rev. Paul and Rev. Ana Fletcher have found a way to do just that. With long friendships from their years in the cafe industry, they’ve teamed up with their friends at Crave and Kind Cafes in Auckland, and Addington Coffee Co-op in Christchurch to launch a new coffee brand that has “a strong social heartbeat.”
