THE NATIONS.

"London goes beyond any boundary or convention. It contains every wish or word ever spoken, ever action of gesture ever made, every harsh or noble statement ever expressed. it is illimitable. It is Infinite London." Peter Ackroyd

We live in a Global City. With more than 300 languages spoken, over 50 non-indigenous communities with populations exceeding 10,000, and almost 30% of our population having been born overseas, this is a diverse city whose influence reaches right across the globe.

God’s mission has always been to have His name known amongst all the nations of the Earth and at ChristChurch London, we want to play our part in God’s global mission. That begins right here on our doorstep, but must also spread abroad, reaching into every continent. Currently we have a good number of people who are part of ChristChurch London but are currently overseas, and many more who are in the process of preparing to go. We are committed to supporting each and every person who has a passion for the nations, to ensure that they are well equipped, connected and looked after.  

Perhaps you are considering a short-term trip to be involved in a project overseas, or maybe you are being relocated for work purposes? You might be contemplating something more long-term; moving abroad, starting a new job, planting a church? Or perhaps you simply want to be involved in supporting those from ChristChurch who are already overseas? Whatever your passion for the nations, we want to support you.

Here are just some of the ways in which we are beginning to work with people interested in exploring a passion for the nations:

ChristChurch Global Breakfasts

Once a term we hold our ChristChurch Global Breakfast. These are excellent opportunities to hear teaching and updates from those already involved overseas, as well as to consider what God may be calling us to be a part of, and some of the practicalities of serving Him in the nations.  

ChristChurch Global Teams

Short-term trips are a great way of getting cross-cultural experience. Each year, we provide opportunities for teams to travel overseas and spend a short time partnering with a church on a project. Whether it’s working to establish an orphanage in Africa, or helping to launch a church in Northern Europe, these are a great way of experiencing life overseas. Stay tuned for more information about trips planned for 2012, including Johannesburg and The Hague. 

Church Planting

ChristChurch is part of a family of churches called Newfrontiers. There are over 800 Newfrontiers churches worldwide, and we are passionate about planting many more churches that make a difference in their communities and their nations. Recently, we sent Rhys and Sara Scott to Vancouver to plant Trinity Central, a church in the heart of Vancouver. To find out where Newfrontiers is planting churches, or to express an interest to be involved in church planting, visit newfrontierstogether.org or contact Adam and Shelley James.

Crisis Relief

We are also committed to supporting those who are suffering around the world, and so we provide opportunities to give financially to the work of those seeking to alleviate crisis caused by famine, drought and natural disasters. Visit the Crisis Appeal page to find out who we are currently supporting, and how you can give.   

For more information about any of these opportunities, or to simply talk to someone about how ChristChurch London can support you in your passion for the nations, get in touch with Adam and Shelley James.
