Saying Goodbyes
There is never an easy way to say goodbye ... whether it's to people or to things. And as our time at the Boiler Room in Gosbrook House draws to a close, there is nothing easy about letting go. However, as we see in the change of nature's seasons, most things need space to grow and breathe, and then there comes a time for them to go.
The closure of Reading Boiler Room is not a forsaking of values, nor is it a defeat. We have seen the life of the Boiler Room - as we have known it so far, at least - coming to a place where things need to be put down. And in laying down our expectations, we have felt the Spirit steering us towards a 'full stop'.
In all our communications regarding closure, we have repeatedly been reminded of the passage in John 12:
The truth is, a kernel of wheat must be planted int he soil. Unless it dies it will be alone - a single seed. But its death will produce many new kernels - a plentiful harvest of new lives. (verse 24, NLT Version)
So, for all of you that are panicking that the closure of the Boiler Room will be the end of prayer in Reading, fear not!! Many visitors, pilgrims, and friends of RBR have felt that there is still more to come. In closing, we are not denying that God's heart still very much beats for the town of Reading. He loves it when His people humble themselves and seek Him - on behalf of the town and on behalf of those they know and love! We are just as excited to see what will transpire in the months after we close as we have been in finding God in humble little prayer rooms in a leaking building in Caversham!
So, join us on the journey of keeping our ears to the ground - holy ground shall we say! - as we watch and wait to see what exciting dreams our Father will grow in the lives of those who have been inspired by the prayers offered in rooms across this town.
