ARTICLES Number Four

EQUIPPING THE CHURCH TO GO AND TELL At Dundonald Church, Raynes Park, we’ve changed our focus slightly when it comes to evangelism. Don’t worry – the content is the same; we’re still preaching the gospel. Jesus Christ is still Lord. That remains the message and always will. But we’re trying to change the culture of evangelism. Because the danger, I think, is that we just carry on with the status quo. Year in, year out. Putting on events of varying quality but then scratching our heads when the numbers of guests attending slowly declines, no-one becomes a Christian and evangelism begins feeling more like a burden than a joy, because our friends won’t sign up to the 7-week follow-up course.

ARTICLES Number Four

Published on Jan 6, 2019

Co-Mission

This edition of Articles, and this year's Co-MIssion Sunday focuses on church planting. This is hardly surprising as we are a church planting network. But we want to go back to the reason we exist. Why does London need church plants? Why do we need people in our churches who pray for, support and join church plants? And what happens once a church has been planted? We plant churches to reach the lost - we plant churches to reach the lost souls of London who, without Christ, will be lost for eternity. We don't do it for the numbers, the status, or the dots on the map. We plant churches because people's lives are at stake. And so we hope that through calls to evangelism from Pete Woodcock and Tom Heasman, stories of evangelistic activities taking place in Catford, Sutton, Mayfair and Putney, and a call for unity in the work we do from Andy Harker that we will be encouraged as a network: encouraged to keep doing what we are doing, encouraged to keep planting churches, and most of all encouraged by the truth
