England All the Way

Nigel Savage — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 08:10:09 +0100

So I’ve returned from my antipodean adventure and, despite industrial action by BA and a volcano exploding, I managed to get there and back. I’m now in full swing getting ready for the World Cup.

Already the England flags are being seen all over the place and the excitement is mounting for the competition. As church it’s important that we make the most of the opportunities there are in society to engage with outreach. Sometimes I think we make mission and sharing our faith very difficRead More...

Planning the Journey

I’ll soon be travelling to Australia and spending a month out there. In all the arrangements for the trip, I’ve had to make sure that all the hotels are booked, money and documents are ready, transport is arranged and flights aren’t cancelled by BA! It’s taken lots of time to think through all the logistics for the trip, mainly to make sure that I can get home at the end of it. In looking at church life, it’s really important that we are aware of the details and logistics of seeing people movRead More...

In my previous blog, I shared how I was preparing for Christmas and making the most of the season to share Jesus with people. I hope you had a good time this last Christmas.

The Christmas clean up and decorating that we did for a local charity drop-in centre went really well. We had 15 people come along and help tidy the place up, do some DIY and put up some decorations. The staff were really blessed by it and we had lots of fun helping out. The mid-week group that I help run has a liRead More...

Christmas Is A'Coming!

I help lead a mid-week church group and recently we’ve been keen to increase our missional agenda. The word missional gets everywhere and feels like one of those buzz words. The fact is, the people in the group aren’t the type that are going to pray for people on the streets. They aren’t that type. As a leader, I don’t want to go on and on about being missional every time we get together. I want it to be a natural part of what we do and what we’re about.

Increasingly, I want our groupRead More...

First Things First

My name's Nigel Savage and I’ve been part of the iCQ team for the last three years. My role is Church Coordinator, which means that I keep in touch with the church leaders that we’re working with. I talk through how things are going, look at strategic planning and how leadership development is happening.

When I’m not working with the iCQ team, my main job is working as a leader in a large church in Bristol, which has over 1,000 adults. I’ve been working as a pastor in this church for Read More...
