Reaching the unreached

We’ve heard a lot recently at Emmanuel about spreading the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. The Joshua Project provides lots of fascinating information about people groups throughout the world who haven’t yet heard about him: click here to know more.

New Website Design

Webmaster — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:57:15 +0000

Today sees the launch of an updated Emmanuel Online. We’ve tried not to shake things up too much, so you can still navigate it easily to find the things you want. As you’ll notice, the basic content is the same – although various sections will be updated over the next few weeks.

But there are a number of ways in which you can help us to make the website better.

If you have any photos of Emmanuel past or present, we’d love to have them on the website. It is now really easy to upload photos and so everyone can view them on the website. The ideal size is about 800px wide/tall. If you have any to upload, please get in touch we’ll give you a log in username and password.
Perhaps you are a bit technical and have a bit of time to spare. In the past we’ve been uploading each week’s sermon to our blog. This means that now we have about 150 sermons and they can be a bit hard to manage. We’d like to rearrange them so that they can be searched easily by bible passage. If you have any time to spare and like technical things, we’d love your help.
Perhaps you have ideas of what else we ought to have on the site. We’re open to all suggestions, so please let us know.

If you can help in any way email Charlie at webmaster[at]emmanuelonline.org.uk and he’ll give you more details.

AIM International

Nigel Styles — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:41:15 +0000

This Sunday, we heard about the fourth mission agency that Emmanuel is supporting. Aim International (founded as Africa Inland Mission) is an evangelical Christian mission agency serving across Africa, and ministering to Africans living around the world. They work in partnership with the African church to reach Africa’s unreached peoples with the Good News of Jesus Christ, and to develop leaders for the fast-growing church. There’s loads of great stuff about AIM International on their website.

Incidentally, at next Sunday’s first International Sunday, their European Director, Andrew Chard, will be our speaker. Plus there’ll be lots of information available about all four of the mission agencies we’ve heard about these last few weeks.

This is the inspiring aim that TEAR Fund have set themselves … to build a global network of 100,000 churches working together to release 50 million people from material and spiritual poverty over the next ten years.

As we approach our very first International Sunday (on 18 October) we’re taking time in our Sunday meetings to hear about the mission agencies around that world that Emmanuel supports.
