The issues addressed by Engage affect everybody in your group/congregation/organisation in some way.
As a vital part of fulfilling the Great Commission, you’re in an ideal position to help change things for the better, but how can this be done?
Here’s a suggested 3 point plan.
1. Pray
Meet with your leadership team to pray for:
- God to make the vision and aims of Engage a reality in the national church.
- Wisdom to know what part you and your group/church/organisation are called to play.
Vision
- To make singleness or marriage a genuine choice for all Christian women and men, through a church which is gender-balanced and teaches about healthy Christian singleness, dating and marriage.
Aims
- To facilitate action amongst Christians that raises awareness of the church gender imbalance and addresses the resulting issues for men, women and children.
- To connect men to Jesus and the church to men (see www.cvm.org.uk), creating a gender-balanced church.
- To promote teaching for the whole church about healthy Christian singleness, dating, relationships, marriage and parenting.
2. Be informed
