Transformation Thurrock's Tim invited to Cincinnati
Tim & Vera Harrold have been invited to Cincinnati, Ohio USA to engage in ministry next Easter by Pastor Josh Hauser at Mason Church of God, and his wife Nicky.
 Josh is former youth pastor at St Margaret's in Stanford-le-Hope. He first came to Thurrock back in the 90's as part of a youth team from Cincinnati and later returned on his own to do a year-out, during which time he became engaged to Nicky Jupp. They married in Autumn 2001 and later lived in Stanford for a period running Mezza9, the youth work at St Margaret's, and inevitably teaming up with other youth workers in the area, which included Tim Harrold, who was working at Thurrock Christian Fellowship at the time.
Josh and Nicky moved back to Cincinnati a few years ago and now have a daughter, Zoe (right). Josh took up the post of pastor at Mason Church of God in 2008.
Josh and Nicky have sent over an itinerary of what Tim and Vera will be doing while in Cincinnati...
While here in Greater Cincinnati we would hope to use your gifts/talents in the following.
- Organised prayer walks with the young families and youth from Mason churches in Mason, Ohio
- Teaching and Communion/last supper activities Maundy Thursday
- A 24-hour prayer event from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday concluding in Communion
- Preaching Easter Sunday morning for Mason Church of God and Easter evening for Winton Rd First Church of God (or somewhere).
- Perhaps speaking to Local Christian High school classes
- General Support for the Hauser's ministry at Mason Church of God
 The proposed dates for this trip are 2-12 April 2012.
