He also had a major influence on the wider spiritual life of Tyneside. As the local medical doctor, he cared deeply for the medical needs of the families who lived on the estate and who came to his practice, and he and his wife Helen worked hard to meet these needs. He also cared deeply for their spiritual needs, praying that many would come to a living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; prayers were answered through the establishment of Somervyl Chapel on the estate and the blessings that flowed from it. Ian's influence did, however, spread much wider than Longbenton, as he prayed continually for spiritual revival across the region. He longed to see people across Tyneside commit themselves to Christ and be changed by the working of his Holy Spirit. He also longed to see Bible-believing church leaders united in their vision for the Lord. In furthering this vision he worked very closely with church leaders in the region from a variety of denominations, some of whom would call themselves charismatic and some of whom would come from a more reformed tradition. He seemed to be able to win the confidence of Christians from a variety of denominations and persuasions, and, for example, used his influence to start regular meetings for Christian leaders across Tyneside held in the Mansion House in Newcastle. Ian Longfield has through the grace of God touched the lives of countless people over his long life and ministry. The people that he worked alongside or to whom he ministered and gave medical and spiritual care are very much aware that there was something very special about Ian. His wife Helen is also held in very high regard for her never failing support for Ian and her own spiritual wisdom and kindness.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49538482962705,"sku":"GOR011507937","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1912863553.jpg?v=1781171494"},{"product_id":"contending-for-truth-book-jim-cockburn-9781915046109","title":"Contending For Truth","description":"In the turbulent world of the 2020s, hit by a global pandemic and the threat of a new European war, and where lies and hatred are so overbearing, many people are looking for truth and purpose. Politicians and scientists have shown that they do not have all the answers. For Christians the ultimate truth is the Lord Jesus Christ and the good news that he brings. Whatever 'new normal' scenarios emerge in the 2020s we need men and women who will contend for the truth in Christ. There are many wonderful examples of people who are prepared to contend for the gospel. These men and women earnestly try to follow the examples of Jesus and Paul. Contending For Truth examines what we can learn from these New Testament examples as well as considering a few present-day contenders for the Lord. These present-day contenders include: Andy Bannister, Director of Solas Michael Bushby, Christian Vision for Men Regional Director for the North-East Barbara Connor, working internationally with YWAM's leadership development ministry, KKI youth and family ministry, and the University of the Nations Donald Curry, Baron Curry of Kirkharle David Holloway, Vicar of Jesmond Parish Church, Newcastle Julie Maxwell, Associate Specialist Community Paediatrician, Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Charles Price, Pastor at Large with the People's Church, Toronto Chitra Bharucha, Kalpana Krishnamurthy and Graham Morritt, graduates of Vellore Christian Medical College As a result of studying their lives and ministries, may we also be willing to learn under God to contend for truth in our needy, broken world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49596445753617,"sku":"GOR012875048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1915046106.jpg?v=1781172834"},{"product_id":"all-by-grace-book-jim-cockburn-9781911086710","title":"All By Grace","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599508021521,"sku":"GOR009388029","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49613490782481,"sku":"GOR012993389","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911086715.jpg?v=1750932225"},{"product_id":"not-a-toff-book-jim-cockburn-9781917455404","title":"Not a Toff","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53338192150801,"sku":"NGR9781917455404","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53487141486865,"sku":"GOR014943506","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781917455404.jpg?v=1776334200"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jim-cockburn.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
