Our work here is to integrate ourselves into key places for Gospel sowing, supporting local churches and ministries as they share the Good News with their neighbours and outreach into their communities.
There is a great need for people to know Jesus and make His name known. We prayerfully seek to partner with local FIEC (Fellowship of Evangelical Churches) churches. Please be in prayer with us as we develop such partnerships.
You can partner with us.
You are an essential part of what God is doing in Newcastle as well as Team England North as you pray with us! For regular prayer updates, you can subscribe to our personal newsletters on the Meet the Team page, or you can find general prayer requests below.
Your gifts are another incredible way to share in our work. While all our living expenses are covered through the generous giving of Southern Baptists, you now have the opportunity to give directly to specific ministry projects happening in Leeds. If you feel led to give to these projects, you can scan the QR code below or follow this link. We are so grateful for you!
You can also come serve with us on a short-term trip. Volunteer teams help us as we evangelize in parks and at summer festivals, strengthening connections with our national partners and giving US churches a greater understanding of the need in Leeds. Please reach out to us if you are interested in putting together a team.
Newcastle
Newcastle upon Tyne (commonly known as Newcastle) is a vibrant, historic city in Tyne and Wear, northeastern England. Located on the north bank of the River Tyne, it is situated roughly eight miles from the North Sea. Famously known for its industrial heritage, premier football club, iconic bridges, and famously friendly locals known as "Geordies," Newcastle serves as the major commercial and cultural hub of North East England.
Newcastle has a young population of 320,605, with a median age of 33 and over 52% under 35, largely due to its large university student community. Newcastle is a major university city hosting over 100,000 students between Newcastle University and Northumbria University.
Pray for Us
-
Roughly 1 in 6 residents in Newcastle is a university student representing over 130 different countries. Pray that students will mature in their walk with Christ and that others will begin a relationship with Jesus.
-
Partnering with US volunteer teams alongside local churches and ministries is an effective evangelistic strategy. Pray that church park outreaches, festivals, and discovery Bible studies planned throughout the year will bear much fruit and further God’s Kingdom.
