Sarah Hopkins

Sarah Hopkins 2023 I attended St John’s when I moved back from college to Dorset in 2009. Living and working in Africa has always been on my heart, and the right opportunity came for me to move to Cape Town, South Africa, in January 2020 and use my Integrative Arts Psychotherapy training and sewing skills.
I have been doing lots of training this past year so I can run and teach a Christian trauma healing course for adults and children. The women and children I have done this with have been greatly helped with their trauma, and been able to see how Christ can help them. Please pray I can continue to bless people using this model, and that through it people can know Christ personally.
With the women I have been mentoring and teaching sewing to, please pray they can develop a business and start earning an income from what they make. Pray that I can train and equip church workers, so that more underprivileged people can be helped and come to know Christ. Pray that I can continue to use my skills to glorify God through my ministry. Pray for safety where I live and travel.

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the Vicar

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
