Church Army launches audio tips to help churches get out more

23 August 2006

Church Army, in partnership with Premier Christian Radio, has launched a series of easy tips to help churches get out more for mission. The new collection features 15 tips from Church Army evangelists; set to audio with voiceover and musical interludes to encourage churches to develop an effective Christian presence in their community.

Churches can use the tips, created as part of Church Army's campaign, to make contacts with people who have little or no interest in church. Mark Russell (left), Church Army's Chief Executive Designate, who launched  last month at a youth action weekend states,"Church Army is at its best when challenging the church to get out of its comfort zone and its buildings. I really hope and pray that you will encourage your church to use the excellent resources Church Army have made available to help you to get out more to share the gospel through words and action in your community."

Premier Christian Radio is supporting the theme by broadcasting the series of easy tips for faith sharing throughout August and September. Peter Kerridge, CEO of Premier Christian Radio adds, "I think is a fantastic concept. In a fast changing world the church must always be on the look out for new ways to communicate our faith."
