Advance2020 - the gift of evangelism and a year of outreach

First published 12th December 2018

Advance: The Evangelists Movement

Advance exists to promote and stir up the gift of the evangelist, building towards a huge year of outreach throughout the UK in 2020.

Advance is a partnership between many ministries, mission agencies and denominations including the Church of England.

Through Evangelist Group Mentoring Advance2020 are committed to equipping and empowering those who have a desire to prioritise the sharing of the gospel, be it from a stage or a one-to-one conversation.

Alongside this they are praying and planning together for what an intentional, strategic, and spirit-filled year of mission will look like across the UK in 2020.

Advance Groups

Meeting monthly, these groups provide space for people identifying as evangelists to receive teaching, sharpen each other through discussion, and share openly about where they are at in their personal lives and walk with Jesus.

After one year in a group, each evangelist finds another twelve evangelists who they then mentor in the same way. This is about evangelists developing evangelists, to see a huge increase around the UK (and beyond) in the number of Christians who will unashamedly put the lamp on a stand, whether they have opportunities to preach from a stage, or through their daily encounters with family, friends and even strangers.
