Rebekka A remarkable true tale brought to life on stage - Rebekka will follow the amazing true story of three ladies who were
sentenced to 3 years in prison in a remote part of Indonesia.
Convicted for running a village Sunday school and children’s social event, the play centres around Dr Rebekka Zakaria - how she coped with life in a primitive Indonesian jail, the effect it had on her
immediate family, friends and career and how she, Eti and Ratna felt very strongly that even though they were in a desperate situation, this is where God wanted them to be. Dr Rebekka will accompany this brand new pulsating production and there will be time for
questions at the end. Saturday 23rd February, 7.45 pm at
The Conference Centre, St Thomas’ Church Philadelphia Campus,
6 Gilpin Street, Hillsborough, Sheffield, S6 3BL. Tickets: £6,
concessions £5, box office 01384 454808.

discover how to be sure you are in the right job and find practical ways to unlock your calling now.

Through the course, David aims to help others realise their full potential, and transform attitudes to work and the lives of your family, work colleagues and even bosses! Live for God at Work and...Discover that God wants to use you now in your current place of work, wherever that is and whatever you do. Use your gifts every single day. Find out how you can transform your work relationships. See God working alongside you in your workplace. Swap your career for a calling!
