Dear brother in the gospel,

It’s my joy to write and inform you of Sovereign Grace Ministries’ church planting conference being held in Newport, South Wales this July. Please accept this invitation with my warmest regards and consider joining us for [CO]MISSION UK - three days of delighting in the gospel of God’s saving grace and his passion for the local church.

Sovereign Grace’s desire for the conference is to begin partnering with men who love their Saviour and long to see gospel centred churches planted throughout the UK. It is aimed at men currently in or considering pastoral ministry. As a planning team we’re particularly keen to see current students or recent graduates join us, and we would consider it a privilege should any decide to do so for the three days. The conference won’t be a launch of a new strategy or initiative to ‘take this country’ or to make a name for Sovereign Grace. Its simple aim is to play a part in the training, equipping, planting and supporting of local churches.

For your information, speaking at [CO]MISSION UK will be Dave Harvey and Pete Greasley. Dave is a husband, father, pastor, and author and has served as a member of the Sovereign Grace Ministries’ leadership team since 1995 and now is responsible for church care, church planting, and international expansion for Sovereign Grace Ministries.  Pete has been involved in pastoral ministry for over 25 years - the past 15 of which have been as senior pastor of Christchurch, Newport. He is also responsible for international church planting and care on behalf of Sovereign Grace Ministries in Australia, Germany, Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and the UK.

For the sake of all attendees, and to make it as feasible as possible for all, we’ve deliberately sought to keep the price of the conference reasonable. For those who book before May 31 2010, the price is only £25 and afterwards only £35. But, so keen are we to see students join us for the conference, for any student desiring to attend there will be no charge at all.

More information can be found at comissionuk.org or through the office on 01633 822211. You’re also welcome to call me directly on 07815 096 501.

Please receive this letter with real affection and deep gratitude for your continued willingness to serve Jesus Christ and the gospel. It’s a joy to stand at your side in the King’s service.

Will you consider joining us at [CO]MISSION UK?  

Serving at your side
