Mission Ireland

'URBAN EYES’ URBAN MISSION SUMMER TEAM

 

Based at Mountpottinger Presbyterian Church, Belfast
18th-24th August 2012

 

All over Ireland there are towns, cities and estates in which people suffer from poverty, exclusion and disadvantage. We as the church need to re-connect, to bring the good news to them.

When the city came into view, he wept over it….
We urgently need to develop the vision for urban mission we see in Jesus that first Palm Sunday overlooking Jerusalem – a picture of God’s possibilities for needy people and communities viewed through moist eyes.

‘Urban Eyes’ is different! It’s a summer team for people who want to explore God’s call to live and work in the urban world – and be the means of its transformation.
 hear what the Bible says about the challenge of mission in the urban world
 learn skills and approaches to working in an urban environment
 participate in the local mission of an urban congregation
 visit a variety churches and agencies developing mission in different urban settings
 reflect with others on how God is giving us ‘urban eyes’
 discover a range of possibilities for serving God in urban mission with the Presbyterian Church in Ireland

Having our eyes opened to the challenge of urban mission may only be the start of it. The prayer of the organisers is that you might be given...
A heart won by urban mission for urban mission

Kilkenny Summer Outreach

This blog post is being written from Kilkenny. I am part of a Summer Team working with Kilkenny Presbyterian Church.

The team has been organised by the Youth and Children's Department of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and is one of a number of such teams of young people who give time over the summer to be engaged in evangelism.
