A little latergram from last weekend in Carmarthen ☀️📖 It was so encouraging spending the day with St David’s Diocese — hearing stories of people encountering Jesus through something as simple as receiving a Bible. From baptisms to conversations on benches, there was such a sense of the Church coming together to hear from God and share Him with others. “So many stories, stands, events and seminars… and yes, the sun was shining too.” 🙌 #StDavidsDiocese #Carmarthen #BibleStories #FaithJourney #Testimony #JesusChangesLives #ChurchTogether #SharingFaith #ChristianReels #UKChurch #BibleReading #BaptismStory #GoodNews #ChristianCommunity #HolySpirit #FaithInAction #ChurchEvent #ChristianEncouragement #Latergram #SunnyDays

One of the most exciting things about outreach isn’t just the conversations happening on the streets — it’s what begins to happen within the church. 🔥 We’ve loved hearing how, through the Great Gospel Giveaway, evangelism is becoming more normalised at Bethel Church Coventry — with ordinary people growing in confidence to pray for others, talk about faith and share Jesus in everyday life. Because sometimes the fruit isn’t only found in the person receiving a Gospel… but in the believer discovering boldness for the first time. Could your church be part of the Great Gospel Giveaway too? We’d love to help equip you to start meaningful conversations about Jesus in your community. Find out more and get involved today. 🙌 #GreatGospelGiveaway #Evangelism #ChurchRevival #OpenGeneration #SharingJesus #EverydayEvangelism #HopeTogether #CoventryChurches

Sometimes the people who shape our faith most aren’t just our parents — they’re the church “aunties”, “uncles”, grandparents, youth leaders and family friends who walk alongside us as we grow up. ☕💛 In this month’s Talking Toddlers webinar, we’re exploring the power of intergenerational relationships and why children flourish in faith when the whole church family is involved. How can we better encourage connections across generations in our churches — and help little ones grow up surrounded by people who know and love Jesus? Join us as we explore it together with Evangelical Alliance and Hope Together. hopetogether.org.uk/PaymentG… #TalkingToddlers #IntergenerationalChurch #ParentingForFaith #ChildrenMinistry #ChurchFamily #FaithAtHome #ChristianParenting #Under5s #PassingOnFaith

⚽ Two thirds of the UK will watch some aspect of the World Cup this summer. That’s friends. Neighbours. Colleagues. Family members. Teammates. Goal of Life combines stories of faith and football with the Gospel of Mark — helping put Scripture into people’s hands during one of the biggest cultural moments of the year. And for some, that simple step can change everything. Glen’s own journey of faith began through reading the Gospels and encountering Jesus in Scripture. A watch party. A pub conversation. A teammate after five-a-side. A copy passed across a coffee table. Who could you give one to this summer? 📖⚽ hopetogether.org.uk/Shop/Pro… #GoalOfLife #WorldCup #FaithAndFootball #SpeakLife #SharingJesus #HopeTogether #GreatGospelGiveaway

🎂 Happy Birthday Church! 🎂 Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday — the day the Holy Spirit fell on the followers of Jesus and the Church was born. From that moment in Acts 2, the message of Jesus has continued to spread from generation to generation, century to century, nation to nation… and today we get to be part of that story too. What started with a small group praying together became a global family of believers filled with the Holy Spirit and sent out with hope for the world. So today we celebrate the Church, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the good news of Jesus that is still changing lives. Happy Pentecost Sunday! 🕊️ #Pentecost #HappyBirthdayChurch #HolySpirit #Church #Acts2 #HopeTogether

What would it look like to put a Gospel into every home in your town? 📖✨ That’s the vision in Harpenden. Churches across the town have come together around a personalised Gospel created specifically for their community — equipping people to head out onto the streets, pray for people, have conversations and invite others to explore Jesus further. We love seeing churches dream big for their towns and create resources that feel local, intentional and welcoming. Could something like this work where you are? #GreatGospelGiveaway #HopeTogether #SharingJesus #ChurchOutreach #LocalMission #Evangelism #Gospel

Faith is something we’re called to share across generations 💛 Join us for our next Talking Toddlers webinar as we explore how older generations can play a powerful role in helping children and young families encounter Jesus.

We’re getting ready for a summer full of opportunity, watch parties, café chats, pubs, churches and everyday moments where Jesus can be shared naturally.

Ascension Day thoughts while waiting for the coffee machine ☕✨ Sometimes we imagine it would be easier if we could just go and physically see Jesus. But Ascension reminds us why He went — so that through His Spirit, He could be with all of us, everywhere, all the time. No waiting room. No appointments. No forms to fill in. Just the invitation to be with Him — even over an ordinary cup of coffee. #AscensionDay #HolySpirit #Jesus #Faith #ChristianReels #HopeTogether #Prayer #CoffeeWithJesus

Rachel’s on the road again 🚆✨ This time heading to Coventry — a city with a powerful history of reconciliation — to gather with Hope Coventry and church leaders across the city as the Great Gospel Giveaway continues to spread. Please pray that many people across Coventry would encounter Jesus through the words of Mark’s Gospel. #RachelOnTheRoad #HopeCoventry #GreatGospelGiveaway #HopeTogether #Coventry #MarksGospel #Evangelism

Ignition was never just about one day in London 🔥 Last week church leaders gathered to pray, learn, step out and rediscover that sharing Jesus can be natural, Spirit-led and full of hope. From conversations on the streets to stories of encouragement and fresh confidence, it was incredible to see people realise: “I can actually do this.” We believe evangelism doesn’t belong to a platform or a few confident personalities — it belongs to the whole Church. So here’s the exciting part… Ignition doesn’t have to stay in London. We would love to come and run an Ignition day in your town, village or local context — equipping your church to step out with confidence and share the hope of Jesus where you are. Want to explore bringing Ignition to your area? Get in touch with the Hope Together team. #Ignition #HopeTogether #Evangelism #Mission #ChurchLeadership #SharingJesus #StreetEvangelism #ChurchTraining #UKChurch #HolySpirit

Another week on the road for Rachel — and what a week it is 🚆✨ From gathering with diocesan leaders at Launde Abbey, to launching the Harpenden Gospel, supporting the Coventry Gospel Project, speaking with Vineyard Leaders’ College and preaching at one of our partner churches on Sunday… it’s a full week of encouraging, equipping and dreaming about how more people might encounter Jesus. Please pray for Rachel this week as she travels, speaks and meets with leaders across the country — for energy, wisdom, encouragement and for every conversation and gathering to bear fruit. 🙏 We’re so grateful to partner with churches and leaders who are passionate about sharing the hope of Jesus in their communities. #RachelOnTheRoad #HopeTogether #Mission #Evangelism #ChurchLeadership #GospelProject #ChurchUnity #Prayer #SharingJesus #UKChurch

Getting ready for World Cup season… ⚽ (First time I’ve ever blown up a football, by the way 😅) But it’s not just about football — it’s about the opportunities that come with it. So many players are open about their faith, and it opens up conversations. That’s exactly what the Goal of Life Football Gospel is for — helping people explore the story of Jesus in a way that connects. And you can pass it on to a friend too. forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/… #FootballAndFaith #GoalOfLife #WorldCupReady #ShareTheGospel #FaithInEverydayLife #ChristianUK #HopeTogether
