Mission Consultations

The Crowded House (TCH), Loughborough, UK

"The Radstock visit provided an excellent opportunity for TCH Loughborough to consider not only what mission is, but how to engage in international mission in a biblically meaningful way.

Time was spent as a whole church thinking through our gifts and assessing various opportunities for international mission. Since then we have been more focused in our mission strategy, targeting specific people groups as a church community in partnership with other Radstock churches.

We hope in the long term to be planting churches in partnership with churches, a process which we hope will teach us to be sacrificial with our gifts and resources and more about the wonderful gospel that saves people of all nations.

The weekend was a massive leap in our commitment to mission, and Radstock provided some much-needed direction for a newly-planted church.'

"Thank you so much for your input over the weekend. It was good for the church to lift our eyes from the local to the world and see what God is doing through ordinary people.

Your ministry was both encouraging and challenging and the stories you shared showed that this is not just theory - it can and does happen! Pray that we may fulfil our God-given potential (2 Thess 1v11).

As pastor, you can very easily become absorbed with 'internal affairs' and forget what else is going on. For me the whole weekend was a gentle nudge to put international affairs high up on the agenda. Your ministry has helped me and encouraged me - so thank you."
