www.nextwaveonline.com News Bristol Church On The Edge 22 January 2010 Bristol, England has long been a centre of significant Christian outreach. This city was a major launching point for the ministries of luminaries like John Wesley. Today, it is home to exciting churches like Edge Church, a campus of the well-known centre in Adelaide, Australia. Led by Pastors Jason and Kim Gowling, this young church is filled with passion and vision, for the city, the region and the nation. Mal Fletcher recently revisited the city to speak to the church and to key church leaders from across the city. During his time there, he said: 'My prayer for you, as a fast-growing young church, is that you will not only grow in size in 2010, but that you will also grow in influence.' 'Influence is not a product of how well you celebrate the past, or enjoy the present; it is a direct result of how much you're willing to engage the future.' 'Bristol, England and Europe generally need an influential and forward-looking church.' For more on Edge Church in the UK, go to edgechurch.co.uk www.nextwaveonline.com |
