GEORGE FLOYD: a white Christian’s response

‘For the LORD is righteous; he loves justice…he will proclaim justice to the nations…you neglect justice…he will judge the world with justice’ (Ps.11; Mat.12; Lk.11; Acts 17) Over the last few days, I have been encouraged by some black reformed evangelical pastors in London, both within and outside Co-Mission, to write in response to the […]
Praying the Lord’s Prayer

I love to use the Lord’s Prayer publicly and privately. It is a magnificent reminder of the immense joy and privilege of praying to our Father in heaven. Why is it so special? It’s priceless for three reasons: 1. IT COMES FROM THE LORD OF PRAYER Jesus is the ideal prayer coach: as God he […]

Evangelism Through Church Planting

There is no explicit command in the Bible to “go and plant churches”. But, in his great commission, Jesus said, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them…and teaching them…” (Matthew 28 v 19-20). In Acts we read of the Apostles being empowered by the Spirit of Christ to obey this command, in Jerusalem, […]
From Every Nation

“…there before me was a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on […]
Why a risk-ready mindset is essential for growing churches

“RISK IS RIGHT!” I can still remember the moment when John Piper thundered these words in characteristically dramatic fashion during his address to the Evangelical Ministries Assembly in London. Then for added effect he shouted again, even more loudly, “Risk is right!” It was 2006. Just one year earlier we had formed Co-Mission—an exciting church-planting […]
Our DNA: An Exciting Culture of Collaboration

Our uniting goal is to plant and strengthen 60 diverse “reformed evangelical” churches by 2025, which means churches that […]
