The frustrations of the strange times in which we are living have provided a unique opportunity for the North West Gospel Partnership (NWGP) to present their next Annual Conference in an exciting and peculiarly appropriate way.
Next month their conference will take place over five weeks, with eight different sessions being streamed on YouTube, beginning Saturday 23 January. They had already planned to do the conference differently.
Having revisited their purpose as a partnership of local churches seeking to reach the North West with the gospel, they have divided up the partnership into eight smaller regions. The conference normally has eight sessions, which dovetail well with the regional breakdown, and so they planned to have eight different speakers, one from each region of the partnership. Mark Pickles, Director of Training at the NWGP commented: ‘It is a wonderful testimony to the fruitfulness of the partnership, that when it first started nearly 20 years ago, we would have struggled to have found as many excellent, Biblically-faithful, gospel-hearted preachers in the region as we now have, in fact the difficulty was not who to ask but how to limit it to just eight.’
