A Season of Growth
The Resurgence of Prayer
What began in 2024 as a year of seeking the Lord for the future of the church has ignited a God-given mandate: to know Jesus intimately, make Him known radically, and teach others to walk with Him personally.
As 2025 dawned, we carried this momentum forward with renewed intentionality. Our corporate prayer gatherings, marked by a prophetic edge, saw attendance quadruple during our 21-day fast (from 15 to over 60). Even now, more than 40 gather weekly, pressing into God for transformation in our lives, homes, church, community, nation, and beyond.
Prophetic words have confirmed this move—strongholds crumbling, new foundations being laid. Already, we witness the fruit in deepened discipleship, numerical growth in our children’s and youth ministries, and an overall strengthening of the church.
Yet, we are not settling. We are praying for greater fervency and unwavering consistency. In the spirit of Habakkuk, we stand in awe of God’s deeds and will not relent until He does them again in our day. Pray for us as we pray for you.An Outpouring
KCE-YA is a group of around 35 young adults ranging from the ages of 18-30. Over 2 years, we’ve gone from 4 or 5 individuals with no real friendship gathering together to a dynamic family who’s on fire for the Lord.
Week after week we’d study the Bible together, one day we decided to incorporate worship into our sessions. What started as 2 or 3 songs led by Ayanfe on the guitar spiralled into over an hour of spontaneous worship as the heavens opened on us in a small upper room in church. More and more began turning up to the point where we were almost on top of one another, cramming 30+ into a room fit for 15- forcing us to change location. There was such hunger and excitement for fellowship and communion we began to meet both midweek and Sunday. We became a group of disciples who’re making disciples seeing God’s fire and wind spread aggressively.
However such growth comes with growing pains, figuring out how to cater sessions for larger numbers. Where to meet? Do we cut down our worship time to make room for more prayer? How do we make sure the mature and “baby” Christians are all fed? We’ve had our challenges, seen spiritual attacks on the group and it’s been hard at times. Our anthem as a group to God from the start has been “refine us by your fire” and he’s been faithful.
As we’re pushing 3 years we have big expectations for what God will do. We want more baptisms, many serving faithfully in church, mature Christians who’re leaders of ministries. Soon we’re expecting enough numbers to have a weekly YA second service on a Sunday in church, seeing Epsom transformed one soul at a time.
