At least two new churches have been planted in Ireland in tandem with the recent ‘What’s the Story?’ (WTS) outreach initiative in Ireland.
Christ City Church in central Dublin (some members pictured) had been looking to plant a church in the more residential area in the south of the city to reach the people there.
Knowing that WTS was in the pipeline they scheduled the launch date for the beginning of the WTS campaign. They used this as an evangelistic head start, since there was going to be city-wide advertising on buses and billboards. Steve Vaughan, Pastor of Christ City Church, said: ‘It gave us an real evangelistic push; the church launch connected well with WTS and it fortified the people for mission.’
