Relational Mission

Discipleship in the New Testament always included taking on the lifestyle of the person who was leading you. In the 21st century church we have tended to avoid doing this. We talk about the teachings of Jesus, study them, meditate on them and teach them to each other, but we rarely actively put them into practice. However, there are groups of men, women and children all over the world who are goin...

Do we just assume that the aspects of the gospel that we've come to know and cherish are those we need to emphasise to the next generation? Tom Shaw argues that we have blind spots and need to carefully contextualise the gospel afresh, taking into account a complete lack of reference points for gospel basics.

Mike Betts brings the conference theme of a gospel for a broken world into view through the lens of 2 Corinthians 2:14-17. Mike focuses on having a robust apostolic appetite for the advance of the gospel, exploring how Christ enables us to partner with him in his mission to reach people with the gospel.

Our Western culture has gone through seismic changes over the past few decades. Beliefs, attitudes and morality have all shifted beyond recognition, even since our grandparents' generation. The church has haemorrhaged people and become marginalised from mainstream society in many ways. In this two part seminar, Paul Maconochie will look at how we can bring the love and message of Jesus to our gene...

Home for Good's vision is a home for every child who needs one. There's a crisis in the UK: 4000 children are waiting to be adopted and over 9000 foster placements are urgently needed. Phil & Kirsty from Home for Good believe the church is well placed to meet this need and to support families that foster and adopt, and that doing so will transform the lives of children, our churches and the whole...

The gospel is not just for new Christians. It's vital we don't just leave gospel proclamation to the few who preach and teach in church. How can we be more confident in proclaiming the gospel and knowing it will work? When we look at the life of Christ and the apostles, we see that when the gospel of Christ is prioritised, kingdom signs and wonders follow. Clyde considers the essential elements of...

Edward and Fridah bring their personal insights into how we can build well, in our families, our local churches and within Relational Mission itself, without losing our global mission.

The New Testament has a huge amount to say about the way we think and how that shapes us. Darkened minds which once saw the gospel as utter nonsense now see it as the wisdom of God. How is the gospel good news for broken thinking, and what does it mean to be transformed by the renewal of our minds? How does this help us in understanding and reaching a broken world, and building a church which is *...

Over the past few decades there has been an incredible shift in the way that we share the gospel. In the past, evangelism was the work of the evangelist, or happened as a result of revival campaigns or events, or by handing out tracts on the streets. This was very successful in the past, but preaching the gospel in this way in today's society may not be as effective. An increasingly effective and...

As Christians we are called to be salt and light where we are needed most: where there are few Christians and where we can make a real difference. We are often called to be on the front line, where life can seem raw and confessing God feels risky. In this seminar, Nolda (with help from Simon Tarry) will challenge you to make a difference in your workplace and to promote social justice in your comm...

Terry & Wendy Virgo bring their personal reflections on how to live life well in the midst of busy ministry commitments, and some observations on how to build well in the local church in seasons of gospel expansion.

The good news of Jesus has not changed a single bit over the last 2000 years. Yet each generation that has arisen through the centuries has had to face its own unique challenges and opportunities into which the gospel speaks in ever fresh and relevant ways. Wouter offers an interactive exploration of the unique challenges and opportunities that children face in the 21st century, and how we can int...
