Welcome To Flame Trust
| READY, STEADY, GO
Plans are now well in hand for the 4th Playground Project in Brusturoasa, Bacau County, Romania. Construction will begin on 11th November with help provided by our partners – Habitat for Humanity. Flame’s Calin Rezmuves will travel out ahead of time to finalise detail and will then help with the construction. Excitement in the village of Brusturoasa is growing by the day!

Highgate House proved to be a wonderful venue for our Flame Family Autumn Conference. The weather was amazing, and there was plenty of time to explore the delights of Northamptonshire and indeed the Highgate Estate, which was ideal for rest and relaxation.

SPRING / AUTUMN BREAK 2025 We have received many enquiries about our plans for an overseas visit in 2025. This year, our visit to Madeira was well subscribed, but was then followed by the Autumn event at Highgate House, so it has been a very full year in terms of organisation, forward planning etc. 2025 is under consideration, but increasingly the facilities that we need to hold our style of spiritual retreat with appropriate relaxation opportunity, are becoming very difficult to acquire, as many hotels now ask for considerable additional expense for us to have a dedicated meeting room plus the extra support that is needed. However, our very good friend at Travel Counsellors, namely Sharon Bayliss, is currently working on a plan for us to enjoy some sunshine (!) in Autumn 2025. As soon as we have some more detail, we will let you know. Watch this space …  DAVE POPE'S MINISTRY Dave is now entering his 53rd year of ministry. It all started in 1970 when he joined a mission organisation known as MWE. Since then, he went on to be the founder of Saltmine, and participated in many global events, working with many agencies including the Billy Graham organisation and the Luis Palau Association. Our office is operational part time. Please call 01384 232786, or email [email protected] Jackie Eames will be happy to help you with any queries relating to our tours and other projects.

Horace Adams, or rather Uncle Horace, as he was known by our CEO, Dave Pope, was called home on Sunday 8th September. He was a wonderful Christian, who served in the Salvation Army for many years, and had an amazing ministry in and around Blackheath. The family have kindly requested that in lieu of flowers, donations could be made to Flame’s Playground Project in Romania. Full details of the project in Brusturoasa are on this page, and gifts can be made via:

MAURICE POPE Maurice, Dave’s youngest brother, is now permanently in Newbury Manor Nursing Care Home in Oldbury, Birmingham. He is receiving full palliative nursing care, but is seriously ill. Dave is spending a lot of time at his bedside, as well as attending to many of Maurice’s affairs and responsibilities which are needing attention. Please pray for Maurice that he might have peace in his mind and assurance in his heart, and for Dave in all of his concerns as a brother. FLAME TRUST NEWS UPDATE As we approach Christmastime, we have decided that instead of publishing an Autumn Newsletter, Flame will issue a Christmas newsletter – slightly ahead of the Christmas season - which will bring the Flame Family up to date as we head towards the festive season and the end of the year. Christmas cards are becoming increasingly expensive to send as postage rates continue to rise, and therefore the Christmas newsletter will be designed in such a way to communicate Christmas greetings, appreciation of prayerful support, and indeed to commend the message and joy of the advent season. Flame always considers good stewardship of all finance that is entrusted to us, and we are therefore sure you will understand why we have chosen this style of greeting at this time.

TIME OUT - SEPTEMBER 2024
Times change, and Heads of Schools and Academies come and go – as do the CEO’s of Academy Trusts. So, we are in the process of realigning and reassessing our Chaplaincy Ministry support to make sure that we continue to provide spiritual input where most needed. Please pray for us as we plan for all of the opportunities and challenges ahead.
