A basketball and a guitar are unique tools for the church-planting
ministry in Worcester. Larry & Debbie Kineman have used
basketball teams and workshops to meet people and build relationships,
which have led to one church plant already. Now, with their
teammates, Mark & Margaret Litten, they are looking toward
planting another church. To make new friends and for visibility
in their community, Mark started a guitar club.
The Dickens Heath Village Church says that their “worship
is inclusive, casual, contemporary, accessible and serious fun,
but we still bring an important message to those who attend.”
Tim & Tammy Aho and Aaron & Diane Lincoln serve with
this church, guiding it into maturity and involvement with the
Dickens Heath community. In the not too distant future, DHVC
will plant a daughter church.
A rail center in the Midlands, Nottingham has a population of
nearly 700,000. Although the city’s history goes back
to the ninth century, in the twenty-first century it is part
of the fastest growing region of the UK and needs new churches.
David & Teresa Fittro are building relationships in the
community toward the beginning of youth outreach and a new church
plant. They’re also working with the Ahos and British
leaders to launch a church-planting movement in England, plant
10 churches by 2010, and create a training center for church
planters.
Bruce & Mary Ann Robertson serve in Hinckley -- a town of about 40,000 that is forty-five minutes east of Birmingham. In addition they work alongside 16 churches in the East Midlands area, offering training in leadership, marriage, parenting, counseling, finances, and women’s/men’s ministry.
In October 2007, four team members -- Robert Braden, Natalie Collins, and Kevin & Leah Miller -- arrived in England to begin ministry at the University of Birmingham. Globalscope is a revolutionary idea
combining the concept of effective campus ministry with the
willingness to go to the ends of the earth for the sake of Christ.
Exchange students and interns from the USA and around the world
will join them each semester to provide a greater network.
