Internationals and Refugees “Show your love for the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in Eygpt.” Deuteronomy 10:19 Mary Browse our Internationals Worker sees it this way: “The vision of the Internationals’ Ministry at Lansdowne is to make disciples of all nations. The world comes to Bournemouth and thousands of International students or working residents live in the BH1 postcode. We long to see many of them find the love and truth of Christ as we build relationships with them.” A welcoming environment in the new building with its Café and contemporary facilities, will provide an ideal context for our International Café , the Toddlers programme which attracts many different nationalities and the development of new initiatives. Sophie Nott, Student Union Assistant Manager at Bournemouth University Lansdowne Campus says: “The new Church Building will have such a positive impact on International Students as it will be an excellent space for them to create friendships and celebrate their culture and for many to connect with their faith. I believe it will be a friendly and welcoming environment and enable students to feel comfortable and cared for so far away from home.” We are also keen to partner with organisations like International Christian Network (ICN) who are working with refugees and asylum seekers. “People flee their homes for all kinds of reasons, never doing so lightly or without cost. We are called to love them and to share hope, it can be painful, but it is a joy and a privilege to do so.” ( Nicky Thenin, ICN )
Mission “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19 The vision of the Lord Jesus is ours. So from our frontline networks to the nations, we want to make disciples. Our new facility in the town centre will serve that great and growing ambition. With so many visitors here from unreached parts of the world, the open welcome of our new cafe will become a strategic door for mission to all peoples. The building will also provide an effective base for the training and equipping of many. Just think of the wave of new workers the Lord will send out from amongst us as he answers the prayers of his people. As we gather in one place for worship, we trust that God will lead us to win, build and send many. “As relative newcomers to Lansdowne the prospect of a new building fills us with a sense of excitement for the future. State of the art facilities, flexible layouts and an on-site cafe provide lots of opportunities to create attractive environments to encourage people, especially unchurched people, into God’s house.” Billy & Anne Davidson Making Disciples from our Networks to the Nations Partnership Prayer every Member every Ministry Participation Loving the Lost Telling the Gospel
