We are coming up with a brand new approach for the visual media - the bill boards if you like - and we have some intriguing ideas to involve thousands of Christian people with us to maximise the impact of the campaign both on the culture and the churches. But that's still under wraps for the moment.
If you're intrigued (or even just interested) and you live within the Greater Manchester area then you can find out a lot more by coming along to one of our events in November. There are two sets of events one for church leaders who are key for communicating what it's all about and giving encouragement to the people in their churches to get involved by praying and planning for a church based event. The other set are for church activists, these are people who love to make things happen and have a passion to see both the Bible and the church opened up for ordinary people wherever they are in Greater Manchester.
To find out more about our city wide media campaigns go to www.biblesociety.org.uk/greatermanchester. Through this web site, you can find out what we did in Nottingham and Bristol too!
To find out more about the unexpected campaign and discover how you can join us for breakfast, lunch or an evening event to find out even more and get involved directly in the campaign go to www.biblesociety.org.uk/unexpected.
One day, I hope to tell you how the campaign to Greater Manchester turned out. But through prayer for us or getting along to one of these events, you can be part of that story, with all the churches and Christians of Greater Manchester, helping us to make it happen.
