Vineyard Churches Uk & Ireland

What would it take to love, serve and minister alongside the marginalised and vulnerable in our communities in ways that all our lives were enriched? How can we find the kind of compassion that draws others in rather than making people around us feel guilty? What if we could receive joy and freedom from our own brokenness as we partner with “the poor”? In this seminar, Alan explores some of these themes and looks at what it takes to build the kind of ministries and church communities that release the contagious, compassionate heart of Jesus. Alan, and his wife Laurie, are Associate Pastors of Belfast City Vineyard and for the past 12 years they have helped establish and lead multiple compassion ministry environments. They are passionate about developing communities where everyone is treated with dignity, significance and hope. This seminar was recorded in January 2020 at the Vineyard National Leaders' Conference.
