Connecting hearts in Zambia

When Nick West heard that his RM Community leader David Bareham was looking for a travelling partner on a trip to Zambia, he expressed an interest in going. By the end of the day his airfare was nearly covered by two unsolicited gifts and a few days later he was on the plane to visit friends of RM in Zambia!

Sharing the wealth of our Relational Mission values

Last May, a team of men and women from our church families across Europe were able to encourage many pastors, church planters and leaders with the rich biblical values that we as RM have learned and practise over the years.

Harvesting lives in the garden of England

It was a God-given strategy for evangelism received early one morning that has equipped many self-described ‘non-evangelists’ to regularly share their faith in towns around Medway, Kent. Is this just for Cornerstone City Church - or could this be the beginning of a new wave of ‘everyday witnesses’ rising up across Relational Mission?

Making Peace in Essex

With both Dave’s testimony and Tom’s words ringing in our ears, the faith levels in the room were growing for Chelmsford. Who will become the answer to our prayers? Who will be saved as a result of these faithful few coming together at the end of a long weekend?

The lion’s roar truly was released in Cambridge!

Family Update: A new lease of hope in the centre of Ipswich

To many, this is a simple story of one church’s positive impact on a town community. But to those of us who believe that God’s desire is to bless the nations through His people, we know that their step of faith will have far greater eternal significance.
