Learning Evangelism From Jesus – River of Life Church & Mark and Fiona Gilpin
“Saturday 23rd November, 10am – 4pm at St Barnabas Church ‘Learning Evangelism from Jesus’.
Making Jesus known is one of the greatest privileges of our lives. Yet have you ever wondered why many Christians struggle to share their faith? Have you ever considered what is the most effective way to share the gospel? Who do you think is the best evangelist that we can learn most from?
We have invited Mark & Fiona Gilpin to help us learn how to share the gospel with our community. For over twenty-five years they have equipped churches to discover God’s heart for the lost and the privilege of partnering with God to fulfil the Great Commission.
At the Learning Evangelism from Jesus training day, they will help us explore how Jesus trained his disciples and did evangelism. They will take us on a journey to discover the transformative power of Jesus’ gospel of the Kingdom.
You can find further information about Mark & Fiona Gilpin at www.evangelismreimagined.org.

Glyndley Manor Courses In November
Getting to the Root of the Problem 1-3 November
As with weeds in a garden, there are issues in life that you may keep trying to deal with but somehow, they keep rising up again, which can cause frustration, overwhelming guilt, shame and a myriad of additional issues which just makes the situation worse.
This course seeks to investigate beyond the presenting issues and looks to the roots that can hold us into these struggles. With a compassionate and non-judgemental approach, it seeks to bring clarity to why you have the problems that you face daily in your life as well a Biblical understanding of God’s heart and pathway for moving into a life of freedom.

Living in my God-Given Identity 8-9 November
We are all born with the innate question in our hearts, “Who am I?”
Indeed, life can be seen as an exploration of searching for answers to this question, but we soon discover we are faced with conflicting answers.
God alone knows the full extent of your unique identity and He longs for you to walk freely in just being ‘you’. This course explores how things have gone awry, the power of self-rejection and how truth in the inner most places is the key to discarding your false identities and finding the real you.

Restoration Week 5: Regaining Freedom 22-28 November
Freedom is something we all long for. Many Christians feel stuck in their daily life and don’t know how to move forward. In Luke 4 Jesus announced why He came, to heal the broken hearted, to set the captive free and to deliver those who are bound. There are many ways we can become bound in our lives. These may come through our own choices, by harm others have done to us or from the effects of this fallen world. Our desire is to not only know God and His salvation, but to live an abundant life.

Overcoming Fear & Anxiety 29-30 November
This course will share how the Lord longs to show us the freedom that is in Him when we can learn to fully trust Him with the worries of our heart, bringing us to a place of knowing the truth of who He is – our strong shelter, our safe tower, the anchor for our hearts.

Eastbourne Worship Conference Has Special Offer for Locals
EssFull weekend tickets are currently £85, going up to £110 on the day. But we have a special offer for Eastbourne Churches, where you can purchase your full weekend tickets for £30. Just enter the code MW30 when booking.
The annual Mission Worship conference (www.missionworship.com ) is back in Eastbourne on 15th-17th November, at Kings Centre, Edison Road, BN23 6PT!
Worship leaders include Tim Hughes (writer of ‘Here I Am To Worship’, and other worship classics), Lucy Grimble, Noel Robinson, Rich & Lydia Dicas, Philippa Hanna and Helen Yousaf.
The Mission Worship team would love you to join us at the conference under the theme “Spirit Break Out.” This gathering promises to be a transformative experience as we come together, united in our longing for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.
For several years now, many across the Church have been speaking about this awakening. While we’ve sensed a stirring in our hearts, we are eager to see our reality match the rhetoric. Reflecting on our recent Mission Worship conferences, we have truly felt a shift. God’s awesome presence has manifested in profound, life-changing ways, and we believe this is just the beginning!
In our previous gatherings, we’ve experienced powerful moments of divine encounter, alongside remarkable worship and explosive testimonies of healing and renewal. These experiences remind us of our deep need for the Holy Spirit to draw us out of the shallows and into a deeper place of reverence, revelation, and refreshing.
As Jesus said, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.” (Revelation 3:20). Let us open that door and invite His presence among us.
Over the three days together, we will share our passion for worship, find times of refreshing, build our faith, and delve into the Word. Through engaging workshops, carefully curated seminars, powerful teachings, and heartfelt worship sessions, our prayer is that we will rekindle our love for the sacred, unlock new creative pathways, and experience profound spiritual encounters.
“Spirit Break Out” is more than just a conference; it’s a spiritual journey that promises to leave you refreshed, inspired, and refuelled by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Together, we will be better equipped to worship God wholeheartedly and lead others in worship.
Full weekend tickets are currently £85, going up to £110 on the day. But we have a special offer for Eastbourne Churches, where you can purchase your full weekend tickets for £30. Just enter the code MW30 when booking.
In anticipation and joy,
The Mission Worship Team
