Ballinderry Mission
Last November ICM ministry leaders and supporting churches led a mission week in Ballinderry Parish Church. It was organised by many of the parishioners and coordinator by Rev’d Trevor Cleland. Over the course of the week, events were held to reach out to the whole community with special women and men’s events too.
As a mission agency it was great to be involved in strengthening the witness of a local church as it sought to reach out to its community with the gospel. It was a huge encouragement to be involved and to see a whole church united in their love for Jesus and the love for the people of Ballinderry.
A week like this takes a lot of commitment. Scheduling for such events takes time, planning and team work. Seeing it as a priority in our churches requires that we are convinced that the gospel of Jesus Christ alone is the means God has appointed to bring salvation to anyone. Remaining convinced that since Jesus has been raised from dead, none of our labours in the gospel are done in vain, is essential at every stage.
Today remains a great day for mission, so wherever God has placed us and with all the resources he has put at our disposal, let us seek to preach and practice the gospel, for the glory of God, the building up of his people and the joy of the nations.
Please continue to pray for the on going witness of Ballinderry Parish and the opportunities the mission week has provided:
It was a significant opportunity to preach the gospel from the gospel, as at each event we explored Mark’s eyewitness account of Jesus’ life, ministry and death.
Please pray that many who heard would start afresh with God, by transferring their trust to Jesus.
Praise God for the gospel of his Son and ask that He would pour out his Spirit, abundantly pardon, and make many people spiritually live.
The Parishioners are planning to continue their outreach by running a follow-up course, so pray that many would respond and join their fellowship as they find life in Jesus.
ICM is committed to starting and strengthening healthy Anglican churches all across Ireland. If you would like to join our mailing list or start giving in order to allow us to continue in this gospel driven work, please get in touch.
