National Christian Exhibition to Focus on Innovative Mission in 2006

May will see the return of the National Christian Resources Exhibition to Sandown Park, and this year promoters are boasting various new features with a special focus being placed on mission.

Visitors will be introduced to a wide range of mission projects that impact church, family life, community and the workplace.

In particular, focus will be given to grass-roots mission. Rev Dr Clifford Hill, of the Centre for Contemporary Ministry said, “A new openness to the Gospel is steadily becoming apparent as Christians share their faith at work and among their friends in the community.”

He continued, “Organised, top-down programmes, like those tried in the 1980’s and 1990’s, are not usually successful. But the Spirit of the Lord is moving among his people and when that begins to happen ordinary believers get the confidence to do extraordinary things.”
