There are hundreds of dedicated, committed Christians in the UK serving on the mission committees of their churches. They are passionate about mission but often frustrated because they feel there is little interest, poor prayer support and minimal vision for the world.
This training day is designed as a practical, straightforward training session for those on local church world mission committees and their church leaders.
Ideally, in each locality, we would like 4-6 churches involved and 5-10 participants from each church. Church groups will receive material to take away and work through as they plan their response to the day.
The aims of the day
To Affirm you in what you are trying to do as a member of your church mission committee
To Listen to your frustrations and grievances
To Help you think through your role and the expectations you have and others have of you
To Analyse why the UK church is in the situation it is today with regard to world mission
To Suggest ways to move forward
"We hosted one of the early tasters of the Church Mission Committee Training Days at St Aldates, Oxford together with several other churches: we found it to be a very thought provoking day, enabling us to examine different ways of implementing a Church Missions strategy. Because it was an interactive day, we also developed closer relationships with missions minded people across the town. It is excellent value for churches of any size."
Gordon Hickson, Associate Minister, St Aldates, Oxford
