Gafcon networks move forward
by Charles Raven, Gafcon:
One of the most significant steps forward taken at our great assembly in Jerusalem last June was to launch nine global networks to equip faithful Anglicans around the world to ‘proclaim Christ faithfully to the nations’.
Since then, there has been a bubbling up of activity as people act on the vision we committed ourselves to at GAFCON 2018. Many are planning their own conferences before GAFCON 2023, some annually, and there is already exciting evidence of growth on the ground.
I think of recent news; a Congolese member of the Global Mission Partnerships network joyfully reports that twenty-four people were converted as he preached at an open-air mission. And the new Gafcon-endorsed province of the Anglican Church in Brazil has just planted another church with over 200 people, this time in the city of Natal, the second since June. The fire is spreading!
The networks are forming strong relational links, being equipped for global ministry and taking initiatives. The Church Planting network members join together for a monthly video conference and the Global Mission Partnerships network played a key role in a Mission Festival which cemented a mission partnership between the Anglican Church in North America’s Diocese of New England and the Anglican Church of Kenya with Archbishop Ole Sapit of Kenya in attendance.
