Different plants, many varieties 

How exciting to see God’s work in mission with believers coming together in churches, whether that be in grand buildings, in a school hall or under a tree! 

In September Crosslinks ran a day-conference for Associates involved in church planting in England: “An encouraging and stimulating day as we heard of a wide variety of mission initiatives being prayerfully pursued despite obstacles that often are thrown in the way”. 

We see results of recent activity in Tanzania, we read of a different type of outreach going on in China and we see also how those in India are taking a strategic approach. 

Church planting is not ‘out there’. What is happening in your neighbourhood? Is this something that God wants you to become involved in? Who are you praying for? Do you need our prayers? 

“I am about to come and gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see my glory.” Isaiah 66:18-24.
