Manchester: Vision for 30 new churches by 2030
The Northern Gospel Project is seeking to see 30 gospel churches planted in Greater Manchester by 2030, through training, funding, and providing care for church planters and their teams.
So far, we have trained 15 church planters through the Incubator training course, cared for seven church planters through Planters Collectives, and raised £63,000 to seed fund church plants across the city.
Huge new gospel initiative for Greater Manchester
Visionary plans to plant 30 new gospel churches in Greater Manchester by 2030 are getting underway.
The project is the brainchild of a fresh initiative called the Northern Gospel Project.
Life's beginning and the incarnation
The stakes in the current abortion debate are high. In 2008, 202,158 abortions were carried out in England and Wales. On average, 18 out of every 1,000 women aged 15-44 will have had an abortion during 2008.
How we respond to these statistics necessarily depends upon when we consider human life to begin. If we are of the view that it is at the point of conception (fertilisation) then these statistics are utterly tragic. They present a damning indictment of our society — a society in which 202,158 innocent lives were taken in the past year alone. I would say the situation is far worse once we recognise that these statistics do not even include the vast number of embryos destroyed in medical research, IVF treatment, or by post-fertilisation contraception.
