What is A Passion for Life?
A movement to see the gospel of Christ proclaimed across the UK and Ireland.
Local church mission
Encouraging and resourcing all-year-round evangelism.
A Passion for Life serves as a rallying cry for local churches of the UK and Ireland to stand together in proclaiming the good news of life in Jesus Christ.
We aim to enthuse local churches with resources and ideas to help stimulate an all-year-round culture of evangelism.
Rallying churches to join together for focussed times of mission.
There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ template to follow when it comes to local church mission. But the encouragement of being on mission together, and of praying and learning from each other and sharing resources, makes a nationwide mission a wonderful thing to be involved in!
The next ‘month of mission’ will be March 2026.
Partnering regionally
Where possible could you consider teaming up with gospel minded churches in your area? Depending on your region the Gospel Partnerships might be a good place to start.
Resourcing nationally
Supporting local churches by helping them:
Train in personal evangelism
Resource their outreach
Continue to develop their culture of mission
The history
In 2010 and 2014 A Passion for Life facilitated two nationwide missions. After some years of inactivity, A Passion for Life was revived with the highly successful promotion and resourcing of a third nationwide mission in 2022.
The vision is to continue to continue to encourage, equip and enable churches for a lifetime of evangelism alongside promoting and resourcing times of nationwide mission.
Who's involved?
The work of A Passion for Life is led by our Ministry Director with the support of a Trust Board that provides governance of the charity as well as theological oversight.
