how can I get people in my church more involved in mission? 

Being involved in Mission outside the parish or neighbourhood boundaries will encourage the congregation to think more seriously about mission. Have a look at our April 2004 magazine, which has several articles about this kind of issue.

The Church Partnerships Team will also be able to help you in this task - offering visits, mission consultation, prayer and fundraising ideas. This article in the April 2004 magazine tells more. 

Locally your church needs someone who takes the responsibility of keeping mission in the attention of the congregation. This may include: 

• distribution of relevant prayer letters to interested members of the church. 

• short news updates presented in services about the linked missionary / project.

• informed prayer about the linked missionary / project in services

• arranging and then making the best use of visits from Crosslinks staff or mission partners to the church

• keeping mission information boards tidy, up to date and interesting

It may be possible to arrange a visit / working party to your link missionary or at least to their area. Click here to read about how Christchurch, Ware did this
