Jo Fothergill

called and commissioned to heal

In the 3rd and final meeting of our 2017 On The Road series we will be joining with the fellowship of St John's Poole for a special unity evening of Christian praise and worship! St John the Evangelist is the Church of England parish church of Heatherlands parish, Parkstone. Nowadays, it is simply known as St John's.

Our keynote speaker for the evening will be Jo Fothergill: Director of Evangelism and Mercy Mission at the Filling Station Trust. Jo is married to Director Richard Fothergill.

From City to City...

Jo was a stockbroker in the City before going into full time Christian ministry with Richard. The year they married they moved to the city of Bristol where Richard would train for the Anglican ministry. When Richard was ordained they moved to the parish of East Twickenham where he was to have his first curacy.

In 1997 they moved to the city of Cape Town to plant a new church in a warehouse. The new church grew exponentially over the 6 and a half years they were there and grew to over 500 active members by the time they left. They returned to the UK in 2003 to work on a new project in Bristol called 'Crossnet', this new expression of church, which they ran with Nick Crawley, has gone on to become a thriving Christian community. ^{(read more)}

Today Richard, Jo and Nick still work together as directors of the national Filling Station Trust with Richard taking the lead. Further to heading up the opportunities for evangelism, Jo also heads up the 'mercy mission' side of the Trust. She will be speaking on Healing at St John's as she is convinced that as Spirit filled Christians we are called and commissioned to heal in Jesus name. ^{(read more Who is: Jo Fothergill?)}

The Vicar of St John's:

Revd. David Price is the present vicar and he has been at St John's since 2012. He loves nurturing people as they grow in their faith and would love to see a greater unity among the local churches of the area. He has been very welcoming to the Filling Station's vision for unity and outreach. David will welcome us - and all the churches of the area, to this very special evening of unity, worship and healing in Poole.

We hope that you will be able to join us at this final celebration event for 2017.
