This conference is on evangelism and pulls together a number of organisations, including, Counties, Church Planting Initiative, GLO, Partnership, Church Growth Trust and Echoes who have joined forces to arrange a weekend conference to fan the flames of passion for sharing the gospel in the UK.

Bible teaching from Lindsay Brown, who is a native of Wales. He studied European history at Oxford (MA) and theology at the Free Faculty of Theology at Vaux-sur-Seine, near Paris, under Henri Blocher. He has been involved in student ministry with IFES for over 40 years, serving variously as European Regional Secretary, International General Secretary and currently heads up FEUER (Fellowship of Evangelists in the Universities of Europe) a network formed by a joint effort of UCCF, the British student movement and IFES, the international evangelical student body – which has as its aspiration the renewal of public communication of the gospel in the universities of Europe. He recently served as the International Director for the Lausanne Movement for World Evangelization.

Encouraging quote from the Head Teacher Kim Thornton at Boxgrove Primary School, Chichester, who in her latest newsletter to parents and carers penned the following words:

“It was lovely to welcome David Thurlow and Gordon Curley from Swanfield Chapel on Tuesday. Having explained that parables are like jam doughnuts i.e. the cake part is the story, the jam, the hidden meaning, Gordon retold the story of “The Prodigal Son”. At the end of telling the story, Gordon explained to the children that God’s grace is amazing – that He welcomes everyone. That there are no conditions and that He forgives us for all the things we do that are wrong – if we just say “sorry”.”

The Life Exhibition is a multi-media experience designed for primary school children which complements and works alongside existing RE teaching. Using interactive tablets, QR codes, graphics, quizzes, films, songs and a discussion café, Life helps children learn – in just over one hour – about the story of Jesus and his relevance today. The exhibition is FREE to schools thanks to the sponsorship of local churches and Counties. It is aimed at KS2 children, although sessions can be shortened to include children in YR3. It visits an average of 20 towns or cities per year and unpacks into a public hall or church building, where children from several local schools can come in to be hosted each week.

Good News Camp is all over for another year!

Up until Wednesday evening Camp was brilliant, then as night time fell, many of us (about 30 campers and leaders out of 120) experienced the dreaded vomiting and diarrhoea.
We have no idea what caused the bug or how the bug spread but THANKS to my fantastic team of helpers and to the campers for adjusting to a rearranged final few days of camp. Sorry for those folk who like myself had to leave site early, hopefully this photos will remind us of some of the good times we enjoyed!

Good News Camp starts today!

Fun theme: The Big Top (Circus)
Bible Teaching Theme: Matthew’s Gospel

Good News Camp set up day, getting ready for the invasion of people arriving tomorrow!
