14 February 2022 | Bracknell, Newbold [Seka Becejac with tedNEWS]<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, Seka Becejac embarked on a creative project: collecting inspirational testimonies from people worshipping at Newbold Church, in Bracknell, England. Becejac collected one story per week and, at the end of the year, published the compilation in a book Great Things God Has Done<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIt was a labour of love,\u201d said Becejac about the project. \u201cI just want to pass on the blessings my fellow members and I have enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The stories were so powerful, and their impact so palpable, that in 2020 Becejac compiled and published a second book, Mighty Works of God<\/em>. The aim of both books is to inspire readers to recognise, celebrate and encourage one another through storytelling. As church members share their testimonies, community is strengthened. \u201cWe know a lot more about each other now,\u201d said Becejac, grateful for the blessings the books are bringing to the Church.<\/p>\n

Becejac is now compiling stories for a third book and inviting submissions from people who live at Newbold and\/or worship at Newbold Church. \u201cThis is an opportunity for you to write and share a story of what God has done in your life,\u201d said Becejac. \u201cTell us how He has led you, encouraged you and continues to lead you no matter where you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

All submissions should be sent directly to Becejac (veselinkasekabecejac@yahoo.com<\/a>) by 31 May 2022. The suggested length is two A4 pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
