UP: The Urban Planting School

We do not find Paul concerning himself with the size of churches or with questions about their growth. His primary concern is with their faithfulness, with the integrity of their witness.

We believe that to obey the Great Commission leads to the starting of many new churches. But for some of us, this poses the question ‘why?’ Jon Beardon lays out a scriptural basis to help us grapple with this question: relationalmission.org/news/2023/11/2… #RMnews #RMblog #RMfamily

"the gospel advances on two frontiers at the same time: to the uttermost parts of the earth and to the innermost parts of the heart. The closer we grow to God, the closer we come to fulfilling his purpose for us." What a wonderful insight from @matt__hatch

Today @gordonjwatson visited Dave & Nathan @rmchurches Romford Gospel Plant, walked streets, heard inspiring stories of God @ work since Carters were sent 2yrs ago by @TheCityChurchUK Later JJ & GW met in Stratford to discuss UP, share ideas & pray for upcoming preparations 🌱🏙️

The ‘secular’ society is not a neutral area into which we can project the Christian message. It is an area already occupied by other gods. We have a battle on our hands. We are dealing with principalities and powers.

The question we’ve encountered most is “What defines an area as being urban?” If you recognise 2-3 of the following 8 features, then UP will be a great resource to equip & encourage you in planting the Gospel deep in the soil of your world 🌱🏙️ INFO: relationalmission.org/up 1/3
