If you have a chance to rent the movie “Faith Like Potatoes” you should do so. It was adapted from the autobiographical book Faith like Potatoes, written by Angus Buchan, who, along with his wife and children came to Christ at a Lay Witness Mission in a Methodist church in South Africa. It is a great story about the power of God to transform a very hard man into someone used mightily by God. The movie doesn't mention Lay Witness Mission but does make it clear that the church was Methodist. The DVD also included "God's Farmer," a 54-minute documentary on the real life of Angus Buchan. Both the movie and documentary are worth viewing.

Worship in Spirit and Truth Manual Printed
Piloted in April of 2005, the Worship in Spirit and Truth Seminar (WIST) has been refined in a 4 ½ year process culminating in the first official printing of the WIST Participant’s Manual. This 46-page resource allows for ample space to take notes and includes a recommended resource list, additional Scriptures for study and numerous reflection questions. While the central theme of Biblical Worship remains unchanged, a team that has included Martha Daigneau, Jeanne Martin, Rev. Sally Havens and Ann Peat has edited, refined and reworked the document using additional feedback from WIST participants over these four years.
The WIST is intentionally designed to avoid “Worship Wars” language as well as labels such as “Traditional,” “Contemporary” and “Blended.” The focus is on what the Bible has to say about worship: Who Do We Worship, Why Do We Worship? When Do We Worship? How Do We Worship? The weekend also includes opportunities for small group interaction, hands-on expressions of worship and time for personal response and reflection.
If you are looking for a renewal event that God has used to take people’s focus off of “personal preference” and onto the wonderfully diverse Biblical expressions of worship, this is a great event to consider! This also would be a great resource for a Sunday School class curriculum or even a Bible Study for your choir or praise team. For more information contact the ARM office at 1-877-857-9372 or via info@aldersgaterenewal.org.
Team Members at Aldersgate
Team members from all of our local church renewal events are encouraged to attend the annual Aldersgate conference which will be held this year July 14-18 at Charleston, West Virginia. This family conference is a great time of fellowship, learning, growth, ministry, impartation, and refreshment. When you have given so much on weekends to others, you need to take some time for God to refill you! Go to www.Aldersgate2010.org for all the information.
Team Members as Ambassadors
If you have seen God change lives through the Lay Witness Mission, Life in the Spirit Seminar, Lord Teach Us to Pray or other Aldersgate Renewal Ministries local church renewal events, we encourage you to become ambassadors for that event. We can supply you with brochures to share with pastors and churches. Testimony of your personal experience with the event is a great way to get the word out!
