Mission

Pioneer Ministry

24 January 2018

The summer edition of the Church of England’s The Reader magazine was all about pioneer ministry. The article on pages 8-9 ‘What is Pioneer Ministry?’ was particularly interesting.

The Reader, Summer 2017

Our motivation is not primarily to get more people into church or to increase our level of income so we can keep the church going but simply to love those people outside the church enough to want to share Jesus with them.

Geoff Willis, chaplain evangelist at Lee Abbey when we were there back in the 1990s, always used to ask ‘Do we have any good news worth sharing? Do we have anyone worth sharing it with?’. Unless we can answer yes to both those then we are in deep trouble!

Ministry Area Prayers

19 January 2018

It was good to see so many people from across the Ministry Area at this evening’s prayer meeting. Peter had put together a visual tour of the ministry area with prayer points for each of the ten churches. Mairwen introduced some of the themes we’ll be using in the forthcoming mission and Barry presented a summary of a recent report from the Church Times on the missing generation in our churches.

Planning the Mission

17 January 2018


First planning meeting for the mission week, and things are beginning to take shape. Last week Nick and Sue from Lee Abbey came to talk to the Ministry Area Council, and this evening we started to put together some ideas for a programme of events for the ten days. We’ll be preparing a newsletter before long so look out for the sign-up form on the website soon.

Visit from the Lee Abbey Mission Team

26 November 2017

It was great to meet members of the Lee Abbey this Sunday led by Mission Chaplain Nick Haigh. With some well-coordinated transport they were able to visit all 10 churches for their morning services, with Nick preaching at both Llangattock and Crickhowell, and several of the team sharing testimonies of their experience of God. We look forward to the start of the mission in May.
