The Unlikely Evangelist

Hello,

I'm back, sorry for the pause in posting.

After some time off work in recent weeks I'm feeling refreshed and enthusiastic again, ready to fully engage with the Mission and Evangelism agenda of our churches. So here I hope to begin posting again;

- reflections and ideas from Heald Green URC as we travel along the Vision4Life process

- an invitation for others to join in online conversations exploring the mission priorities for the United Reformed Church

- resourses and reflections on contemporary evangelism and church growth from my reading and research as Evangelism and Emerging Church Advocate and my MA in Missiology at LKH in Manchester

in addition,

- Weeklyish Lectionary Reflections, based on discussions from Heald Green URC's Bible Study groups. Which may offer help and inspiration to preachers as well as notes to assist you and your churches as we begin the Bible year of Vision4Life at Advent. (To find out more about the sucessful model of Bible Study developed at Heald Green URC see my post, Bible Study for Every Church)

As ever, comments and e-mails are always welcome, thank's for visiting and it's good to be back!
The Unlikely Evangelist

Hello and welcome to The Unlikely Evangelist!

A blog of reflections and resourses of use to the local church on issues of evangelism, church growth and emerging church projects.

I don't claim to be an expert, just an interested participant in a growing network of people trying to imagine a new future for the church.

Why unlikely?

Firstly, because of the surprised reactions of friends when I tell them I have been reading and researching contemporary evangelism issues.

But secondly because there has been no one more surprised than me!

So this is a blog for all the Unlikely Evangelists out there!
Cheers, Mike
