Christian ministry Agapé is set to unveil its vision for spiritual transformation in the UK this month.
It is holding a celebration at the Broadway cinema in Nottingham on August 20 during which its new national director, Lesley Cheesman, will be commissioned.
The event will showcase the work of Agapé and its ministry partners, and include the premiere screening of Agapé's new short film, also called 'Reckless Love for a Reckless Nation'.
The film includes interviews with some influential UK Christians including Krish Kandiah of the Evangelical Alliance, Shadow Education Minister Sharon Hodgson MP, worship leader and activist Andy Flannagan, Street Angels founder Paul Blakey, workplace ministry pioneer Mark Greene and Youthwork magazine editor Martin Saunders.
The film examines the state of the nation, highlighting both the challenges the church in the UK must face and Agapé’s distinct role in the body of Christ.
Ms Cheesman said, “Shouldn’t everyone in the UK have the opportunity to hear the message of Jesus and witness the counter-cultural values of God’s Kingdom being put into practice?
"We hold the belief that this can happen in our lifetime! We want to work closer with the wider Church to see lives changed and devoted to Jesus 100%.”
