EMF Conference 2020 - The Message & the medium!

Tomorrow afternoon we'll have the privilege to speak at the EMF Conference 2020.

Alongside John Stevens, FIEC National Director, Andrew Roycroft, Pastor of Millisle Baptist Church and Blogger, Vitalii Mariash, Academic Dean of Kyiv Theological Seminary, we'll engage with the theme: The Message and the medium.

We'll focus on our rural church-planting experience of Sharing the Gospel in an online world!

The dramatic worldwide move towards online media continues to develop, and the Covid-19 lock-down has made evangelical churches everywhere have to face the challenges as well as the opportunities of the online world. The implications for society in general, and for the church in particular, have been both wide-ranging and surprising. 

• So, how should evangelical churches approach this and how might this affect mission in Europe?
• Does this present new opportunities to be embraced or a subtle distraction which risks diluting our focus?
• Are there gifts and skills that should be developed in the churches?
• And how might this affect the challenges of Bible training, especially in countries where there are few reformed seminaries and a shortage of sound Christian literature?

Reformation Prayer Meeting

Tomorrow evening we'll meet on Zoom for a Reformation Prayer Meeting.

The 31st October 1517 Luther posted the 95 theses in Wittenberg. This date has a strong symbolic value as it's considered, if not the very beginning of the Reformation, at least one of its fundamental steps. The fact is that after the nailing of the 95 theses, Reformation took on a public and popular profile. The Day of the Reformation is therefore an occasion to remember the rediscovery of the Gospel centred on the recognition of the authority of Scripture, the centrality of Jesus Christ, the gratuitousness of salvation, the requirement that all life be lived for the glory of God.

As church family, we'll have a time to specifically intercede for our nation in this moment of crisis due to the COVID19, remembering how the identity of God's people for every generation, in every nation and in every moment of crisis, is inextricably linked to being in Christ and faithful witnesses of his Gospel.

So we'll dedicate a time to pray, to intercede and to thank the Lord, following the 5 Solas of Reformation: Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Sola Scriptura and Soli Deo Gloria!
