Embers – Church Renewal Through Everyday Missional Discipleship

Hi!

Welcome to embers.org.uk.

This website is the gateway to everything ‘Embers’. We seek to facilitate church renewal in the UK through everyday missional discipleship.

This short video says who we are and what we are about…

Have a look around our site – we hope you will be encouraged. Maybe you’ll even find some tools and resources to help facilitate your discipleship and enable you to live more missionally in your daily life.

Also, we would love to hear from you! Why not get in touch and introduce yourself if you are interested in our training…

About us…

Embers is here to help people in the UK live as missional disciples of Jesus – to follow him, and join in with what he is doing by his Spirit. This means more lives that look more like his, more local churches that experience renewal, and communities that do that same.

What we do…

The UK historically sent out missionaries to share the good news of Jesus all over the world, and now many nations are sending missionaries back to the UK because as a nation we have turned away from God.

We see ourselves as home-grown missionaries, raised in the UK, shaped by it, and ‘sent’ to it. We believe our ministry is just one small part of what God’s Church in the UK needs, and that it will compliment what God is already doing wherever we go.

The Dads’ Race (a poem)

The whistle blew, and suddenly a line of middle-aged men remembered they had something to prove. The children shouted. The dads sprinted. The knees complained. Tomorrow’s ibuprofen was already inevitable. By the next morning, we were archaeologists, carefully excavating ourselves from sofas across the town. Maybe that’s what made me smile. We can become wonderfully …

How can I grow as a Christian?

Matt wrote this blog post last year…thankfully he is now through his Catatonia phase…but the reflection still stands. We need to keep digging deep into the treasure trove of God’s word and sharing that with whomever your primary audience may be today, this week or this month. I’ve recently rediscovered one of my favourite 90s …

Long time no see…

I have a friend who cannot do something if you ask her to. It’s got a fancy name and everything…Pathological Demand Avoidance or PDA for short. It’s not her being difficult…it is a behaviour that stems from a physiological stress response. But, if you put it on a rota and stick it on the fridge …
