A JOURNEY OF GOD'S MYSTERY AND WONDER
Annie Emmins and the team at The Besom in Esher embarked on a whole new journey when they were offered a five-year rent-free lease for their first-ever premises to serve the community in Elmbridge better. But little did they know that God had His eye on the premises long before even their Besom came into being.
ONE BECAME TWO YEARS
When I decided to apply for the Besom job rather than accept a corporate job I was offered, I had no idea how much Besom would impact my life in just a year! Neither did I know what a broad range I would cover in helping roll out the branding, initiate comms, marketing, media, and exhibitions/events.

PUTTING GOD AT THE CENTRE OF IT ALL
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Love your neighbour as yourself'. (Matthew 22: 37)
What does this verse mean to you? If you read it over and over again and meditate on it, let it soak deep within you, what will you hear the Lord say to you?
Has it anything to do with forgiveness when people hurt us?
