Christian Outreach in Lanarkshire
A study of Visions and Movements. 2001, 23 pages, 7,700 words
A brief study of mission in Lanarkshire, an investigation of the church statistics, A SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) study, and proposals for future mission work. The study proposes an evangelistic model based on the strengths of the organisations and movements examined which could be instigated in Lanarkshire. However, the main conclusion is that the need for a Lanarkshire-wide evangelistic organisation is perhaps not the best utilisation of resources as denominational. para-church organisations, and local area grouping can be much more effective in the prevailing culture of today. The study concludes with some endnotes suggesting an ethos which should be adopted in whatever evangelistic outreach method is adopted.
EKCO 2000
A report of the evangelistic celebration of the Millennium organized by the churches of East Kilbride – 2000, 14 pages, 5500 words
Some 16 of the town's 30 churches, representing perhaps 70% to 80% of the town's congregation participated and contributed over 75% of the total cost of £12,000.
1000 people attended the Joint Church Service, 1500 people came to Praise in the Park and 700 teenagers attended the ‘Rocktober’ events of which 103 went forward for counselling. In addition relationships were developed with the Primary schools through the JC2000 programme and with the Secondary schools through Rocktober. The standing of the church in the secular world was also much enhances with relationships developed with secular organisations and the media. Anecdotal evidence shows that EKCO 2000 has touched many with the Gospel.
