TEAMwork is an outreach project seeking to plant churches in the Midlands and the North of England. Andrew Setchell, one of the preachers involved, answers some questions about what they are up to.
EN: What are TEAMwork's aims?
AS: TEAMwork (Training Evangelism And Ministry) fulfils three main objectives. First, to plant and promote new Christian churches which are God-honouring, Christ-centred, Bible-based and gospel-preaching. Second, to train gospel preachers for evangelistic, missionary or pastoral ministry and third, to train those who want to be better equipped for personal evangelism.
EN: How did it get going?
AS: The vision for forming TEAMwork began with Dr. Gareth Crossley who has had, for a number of years, a concern to see churches planted along New Testament lines. Some men came together in September 2001: Dr. Gareth Crossley, Fraser Kay, Evan Richards, Andrew Setchell and Alan Stenfalt. In the current group, Gareth and Alan act as the team co-ordinators while Fraser, Evan and Andrew are the men in training.
