Resources

A number of great resources are being made available by A Passion for Life over the coming few months.

 

 

Ideas for Mission

Ideas for Mission"Ideas for Mission" is a stimulating resource manual brimming with ideas and possibilities for regional partnerships and church leaders planning local church missions.

 

Packed full of advice from more than 40 contributors, 'Ideas for Mission' is a vital resource for any mission-minded church. It includes:

  • case studies of previous missions
  • practical ideas for evangelistic events ranging from men's breakfasts through to women's pampering evenings across to battle of the bands and sporting events
  • top-tips from experienced evangelists, such as Rico Tice and Roger Carswell

as well as helpful articles and ideas for reaching different people and groups within our communities with the good news of Jesus.

 

This thorough and user friendly resource will help equip churches that are planning local missions in March 2010 as part of 'A Passion for Life' and on into the future.

Prepared for Mission

Prepared for Mission"Prepared for Mission" is a set of three training DVDs for local church groups on the important themes of "Pray!", "Engage!" and "Prepare!"  Each DVD contains four sessions each with a lively Bible talk of 15-20 minutes together with questions for group bible study.  Each DVD is accompanied by a leaders’ guide and the DVD contains downloadable talk outlines and study questions for church members.  It is envisaged that churches could plan to include these DVDs into their small group programmes in a variety of ways over 2009 e.g. each DVD straight after the other, or just one DVD or selected parts of it in each "term". A church could provide a special series that combines groups or join with another church locally to watch the DVDs on a big screen before breaking into smaller groups for the bible studies.  Or again, it could be more useful for all home or cell-groups to watch their own DVDs.  Each church will need to consider what is most helpful for equipping its own members for mission.  These DVDs are available for order from The Good Book Company.
