HOPE Mission Hubs 2014
On Thursday 28th February Ali Campbell, Adviser for work with children and young people in the Diocese of Chichester hosted an event at Church House, Hove to hear news of an exciting youth project. Phil Timson, Youth Director for Hope is seeking to mobilise and encourage the church – not just to do a short mission week, but to engage throughout the year in missional activity.
Across the country Mission Hubs are being set up which will seek to draw in young people and key youth workers to give them some basic skills and a support structure. They are based on a cell type model with a central hub and surrounding satellites.
This training and equipping would have a three fold thrust:
a) What already is – i.e. looking and reading their patch,
b) What could be – dreaming dreams and thinking of creative ways in which the Gospel can be shared in word and in action,
c) What will be – i.e. getting on down and doing it, giving it a go.
Ali asks….
- Would you love to see young people inspired for mission and sharing the Gospel?
- Would you pray for this initiative (informed prayer is great!)?
- Whilst you may not work with young people, might you know those who do and can you pass the message on and inform them of what is happening?
- Would you support this initiative as we try and see at least TWO mission hubs kick off in Sussex – but wouldn’t it be great to have more!?
If you were unable to make this gathering but would like to know more let Ali know as there are plans to host a follow-up meeting for those that want to work together and pray into what might happen across Sussex in 2014 . . . .
