The Anglican Mission in England (AMiE) says it is seeing encouraging signs of growth both in existing churches and in new fellowships joining.
AMiE describes itself as ‘a fellowship of faithful Anglican churches committed to gospel mission’ and is linked to GAFCON, the global movement of Anglicans committed to orthodox views on sexuality.
Tom Hutton of AMiE said: ‘At the start of this year, Bishop Andy Lines (AMiE Convocation Bishop) reminded us from Hosea 11 of the son who was called out of Egypt and in total obedience went to the cross in order to redeem us. We were reminded of the confidence this gives us when facing the challenge of reaching a needy continent with the gospel of Jesus Christ through the work done by local churches.
‘This year we hope to keep this challenge ever before us as we seek to plant and strengthen churches for the salvation of many and the glory of God. We have a gospel ambition to see 25 AMiE churches by 2025 and 250 by 2050.
‘We praise God for the encouraging signs of growth that we have seen both in existing AMiE churches and in new churches joining us. Over the past couple of months, we have welcomed Holy Trinity Gateshead, Grace Church Newton Hall and Redeemer Church Thanet into the AMiE Convocation. This takes the number of churches in the AMiE fellowship up to 20 and we hope to see this number grow before the end of this year. A great way to keep up-to-date with the latest news from AMiE and to receive prayer points is by signing up to our mailing list, on our website.’
