Our Minister: Rev. Joy Mayisiri
I'm starting my journey as your pastor here at St Andrew’s Methodist Church with a heart full of gratitude for the Lord and His guidance in my life.
I take this opportunity to urge every one of us as the body of Christ to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might (Ephesians 6:10), as we begin the new Connexional year. According to my understanding of ecclesiology, the church becomes the hope of the world when its way of living reflects the gospel. For that reason, we have a responsibility to not only provide a haven for those who live on the periphery of society, but also to uphold the prophetic nature of the Bible while adapting it to the needs of the unchurched young generation, which has grown to be extremely sceptic. Having said that, nobody can dispute the extent to which the secularist culture has given rise to a generation that doubts everything, as well as the economic damage caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This has become a challenge to the church however, I pray that we take heed of Paul's advice to the Galatians thus, not to grow weary of doing good for in due season we will reap if we don't give up (Gal 6:9) As we have the chance to serve God at a time such as this, let's be kind to everyone keeping in our minds that the local church has the ability to affect change on a global scale.
