Planning ‘Together on a Mission’, pt 2
Colin Baron
Having come up with the title A Global Church for a Global World, I then moved on to designing the first seminar 'Building churches that reach the nations'. Over past few years I have been challenged by the fact that we can reach many nations by being intentional about cross-cultural mission in our major cities such as Manchester. The themes that I chose reflected my passions and also the gifts of the speakers that were chosen for the session.
Evan Rogers, a worship leader I admire a lot, is speaking on the theme Worship for all nations. Last June Evan served us brilliantly here at Christ Church Manchester (CCM), speaking at a conference we hosted for worship leaders who wanted to see multi-cultural worship in their home churches. Our Sunday meeting still rings out with some of the praise songs Evan taught us. He also imparted faith to see all the nations worshiping together. (You can still find Evan’s teaching from that day here.)
Steve Tibbert, a good friend of mine who I have the great pleasure of serving with in some of our large churches, is going to speak on building a large multi-cultural church. Owen Hilton who was with him in Kings Catford and is now leading his own church, is going to cover the challenges of raising leaders from all nations. Finally, we’ll cover intentionally building with all nations, including the amazing church growth potential of building this way in our cities. As you can see I am very enthusiastic about the way the seminar has developed!
