Mission impossible

Many evangelical churches are relatively small and face great problems. At EN we dreamed up the kind of difficult local church situation into which young ministers/pastors and their families are often sent.

We asked four men to comment on how they might, under God, seek to turn things round if they were confronted with such a church.

One, Oliver Crisp (OC), is a young pastor in training in the south of England. Another was Bev Savage (BS), a man with many years' experience in churches and General Secretary of the FIEC. Another was Evan Richards (ER), now working with a new church planting venture called Teamwork, based in the Midlands. Finally, we set the same scenario to Ken Moulder (KM), a Church of England vicar who has seen God build his congregation up from small beginnings at St. Oswald's, Walkergate, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
