TEAM Autumn Teaching Day: Mission

We invite you to the TEAM Teaching Day.

God is at work all over the world, and yet many local churches struggle to know how they might join with Him in these global gospel purposes. What might it look like for Christians today to be faithful to God’s call and fruitful in God’s mission not just in their own local settings but even to the ends of the earth? We’ll be spending some time thinking together carefully about questions such as ‘what is mission and why does it matter?’ ‘How might local churches enjoy excellent relationships with their global partners?’ and ‘How do our mission practices need to change to better reflect 21st century realities around the world?’ We’ll look into some of the significant contemporary issues facing global mission today, and we’ll think biblically and missiologically about tricky questions facing many churches and missionaries today.

Chris Howles was Head of Theology at Uganda Martyrs Seminary Namugongo between 2011 and 2023. He has now returned to the U.K. with his wife, Ros, and three children where he now serves as Director of Cross-Cultural training at Oak Hill College (London) since Jan 2024. He has a doctorate in intercultural studies from Fuller seminary (US) and is founder of the mission resources website FromEveryNation.net and its monthly mission resources email ‘Mission Hits’.
