Church Mission SocietyMission is … God’s! - Audiomission Dec 2017It’s a famous definition of mission: “seeing what God is doing and joining in” – and we hear from people who are simply responding to that this month.
The first part of that definition involves looking for God in the world around us. We might think that is even more challenging in a war zone. But today we hear in two parts from Lynn Treneary, who is based in Maridi in South Sudan, at Chaima Christian Institute. Perhaps surprisingly, Lynn doesn’t find it hard to find God in this most testing of situations.

Thank you if you were one of more than 2,000 people who completed our survey, online or at festivals this summer. You can see more about the results by going to the Mission Is tab at churchmissionsociety.org.

Church Mission SocietyMission Is...heading for the margins - Audiomission September 2017We hope that none of our mission work is very far from the people who find themselves pushed to the margins of society – and this month we focus our attention in their direction – and travel from Tanzania to Paraguay and Peru.
