LCM: planting in Samaria
London City Mission
London City Mission (LCM) held its annual Thanksgiving Service on September 17 with guest speaker Andy Paterson, Mission Director with FIEC, inspiring and motivating LCM staff and supporters alike as he called on them not to lose their nerve or to give up on sharing the gospel verbally.
He also challenged LCM to: ‘Help plant and support indigenous gospel-hearted churches with some of the brilliant evangelists that you have. You need to work with those churches so that they effectively welcome and grow people who are coming to faith in Christ. Please use your expertise to develop a generation of working-class church leaders’. Thirdly, he impressed upon the LCM the role it has to play in helping to train and equip churches in London to cross cultural boundaries and create truly multiracial, multi-ethnic churches in London.
Park life
London City Mission
A June Family Fun Day showed the results
of long-term mission in a former ‘no man’s
land’ in East London.
St. John’s Park is a green space on the Isle
of Dogs. Just a few years ago it was a place
where no one dared to enter because of the
gangs, drugs and high levels of crime. But
now it is a vibrant hub of community where,
particularly in the summer months, parents
and children gather to enjoy time together.
