Line dancing, Chatswood and Sydney's growing Chinese community. What could bring these three things together, asks Stuart Robinson? The Gospel.

Stuart Robinson investigates creative solutions to evangelism that play into popular interests but still provide that essential Gospel content.

As a way of encouraging our church to "take God to work" I interviewed Judy in the service and she gave a very self-effacing version of her experiences as an employee. I then read a letter from Peter, her work-mate and a non-Christian. It explains the process from his perspective.

Jude has led a good many to a living faith in Christ. She receives no stipend and very little recognition. But as far as the nursing home is concerned, Jude is "their" chaplain.

I'm all for process. That is, providing events and programmes and opportunities for the gospel so that our unsaved friends will keep on hearing of God in Christ.

Matt Dalziel is a home grown evangelist. He was raised in the faith of Christ at South Turramurra Anglican (St Philip’s) and was confirmed, a convinced believer, at age 15.

Being the 'owner-operator' of an 18 and a 19 year old who are keen to pursue christian ministry, the launch of a 'Global Gap Year' (GGY) from Church Army gets the blood pumping!

Mission is the life-breath of St Matthew's, West Pymble. Gary O'Brien and his team, whilst committed to loving and serving the 'already convinced', are resolute in their desire to see the community at large introduced to God in Christ.

Greg Middleton and the team from Gospel Outreach Ministries (G.O.M.) are serious about connnecting Australians with the risen Christ. Hence the Great News Australia Initiative.

Dave Yung has mastered the art of ‘flow’. By ‘flow’ I mean the ability to almost seemlessly move people from gentle first contact to faith in Christ, to discipling, to active involvement in outreach and ministry. Dave is the innovative ‘International Pastor’ at tiny Peninsula Church (PCC) in Pyrmont, where I was previously senior pastor. With risk of grossly over-simplifying what is often a tortuous process, I want to lay out how Dave (with intent) has employed the concept of ‘flow’.

Having worked across Australia, in a variety of (Anglican) contexts, I have come to the conclusion that an evangelistic resource list - regularly updated - is well overdue. Here is my preliminary list. Some sites/products will be well known, others less so.

Stuart Crawshaw was reluctant to do youth ministry until all his mates left church for the pub scene.

Janet and David came to me with an idea. They'd lost an adult daughter in tragic circumstances. She'd developed an aggressive form of cancer and died in her very early twenties. The family were, not surprisingly, gutted. They wondered if some kind of Christian celebration of life might be in order.

On the tough, broken streets of the inner city shines a beacon of hope. Stuart P. Robinson talks to the Rev John McIntyre, Rector of St Saviour's Redfern.

I've come to believe the adage, "expression deepens impression". Here is a group of men and women, most of whom were unchurched, standing before Bishop Rob and publicly declaring their allegiance to Christ. This is where the "expression deepens impression" thing plays out.

Picture a scene with me. Over the course of six weeks a total of 40 people, including a number 'off the street', fringe members, and regulars with friends roll up to a new style Monday night 'gathering'. People walk in through the front door of a real estate agent and are directed to a room at the back...

St Luke’s, Mosman is a liturgy-friendly parish committed to evangelism and connecting ‘faith to life’

St Mark’s, Picton may not have all the creature comforts but believers are thirsty for growth.

The young clergyman [I can't believe I just wrote that...am I really so aged?] looked puzzled when I asked him if he had an up-to-date 'cradle roll'. I've done a bit of research (you know, asked around the office...real indepth stuff) and it seems that the term is unknown to 'post-boomer' generations.

In 2005 Stuart Robinson will uncover new ideas for outreach. This month we head to the village community of Lane Cove and investigate how St Andrew’s is reaching both schools and retirement complexes.

Kurt has a strong sense of 'call'. He's never been to theological college (or wants to) and he does not work on a church ministry team. Kurt is a layman. A regular guy, I suppose. He takes the bus to and from work, loves his wife and daughters and lives a relatively quite sort of life. Well, almost.

In 2005 Stuart Robinson will uncover new ideas for outreach. This month we head south to Victoria and investigate St Jude’s, Carlton – a church ministering to people from Melbourne’s top-end to its projects.

In 2005 Stuart Robinson will uncover new ideas for mission and outreach. In this issue, Tim Foster from All Souls’, Leichhardt, says being a visible witness to Christ in your local community is the best first step.

The place of 'altar calls' has exercised my mind in recent weeks. Shall I play it safe and 'work the cards', or should I step out and ask them to step out too?

It was a farewell to some people from the 11am congregation - people that Enzo and Ralph had barely met. So why the aversion to church? What's the difference between a Sunday arvo nosh up and a Sunday morning service?
