RUNNING PARTNERS are the smallest building block of relational discipleship at Hope Church Sittingbourne.

The purpose of RUNNING PARTNERS is very simple... You, along with two to three other people, all encouraging one another towards faithfully reproducing HOPE in your everyday lives.

It is in these smaller relational settings that we are prepared to be truly seen, and invite one another to speak into our lives, as we outwork our mission of honouring Jesus, obeying His Word, praying beyond ourselves and everyone being a witness to the work of Jesus in our everyday lives.

​We believe that being authentically known, both by God and one another, leads to powerful and lasting life transformation as we partner together with the Holy Spirit.

RUNNING PARTNERS aspire to nurture & reproduce disciples who themselves multiply the HOPE of Jesus in the hearts of everyone, everywhere, everyday.

Any questions please speak to Gordon directly (07918 788982).

On Monday, 30th January we start our Week of Prayer, as we give ourselves afresh to Jesus, hand over our burdens, entrust Him our hopes and discern the leading of the Sprit as the imagination of God is revealed amongst His people.

Each day we'll share a short video on our social channels with a short-devotional to frame our time of prayer.
​
Can we encourage you to find a quiet space in your day to watch each video and spend a meaningful amount of time with Jesus reflecting on the theme of the day.

If you feel the Spirit of God speak to you or impress anything upon you, please make a note of your thoughts and forward them to Gordon so we can collate them and hopefully discern any themes and threads that may emerge over this week.

There will also be two opportunities to gather in-person to pray together during the week:

• Weds, 1st Feb - 10am to 11am @ Brian & Hazels house
• Sun, 5th Feb - 7:15pm @ Brian & Hazels house

Breakthrough Prayer

These are time where we pray beyond ourselves, focusing on prayer for the town, other settings and context, national/international issues and for our wider world.

Any questions please speak to Gordon directly (07918 788982).

Join us for a morning of evangelistic outreach, as we go out into our local community sharing the good news of Jesus with people.

We'll be gathering at Ade & Emmanuel's home ready for 9:30am.

Our time together will start with worship and prayer (with tasty pastries and hot drinks) followed by approx 60 minutes of sharing Jesus in the local area.

We'll then head back to the Samuels home to debrief and to give thanks for all that Jesus has done along the way!

Please speak with Ade Samuel directly for more information.

What should I expect?
Our Sundays are family friendly and set out cafe style.

We usually have a combination of sung worship, prayer, exploring a biblical theme or topic on tables (often with conversation & discussion) and time for making new friends in a fun environment, all with great Costa drinks and a choice of cakes (usually homemade).

Our vision is to see HOUSEHOLDS established across Sittingbourne, each one expressing and outworking our collective mission of multiplying the HOPE of Jesus in our local communities of Milton, Kemsley, Tunstall, Borden, Bobbing, Murston, Teynham, Highsted, Bapchild, Rodmersham and Iwade.

The life of HOUSEHOLDS revolve around the three basic rhythms of healthy discipleship:

• UPWARD: Enjoying Gods presence together & seeking His blessing for our neighbourhood(s).
• INWARD: Enjoying friendship, fellowship, food & fun with one another.
• OUTWARD: Enjoying sharing Jesus in practical ways with the people where we live, work, rest & play.

Any questions please speak to Gordon directly (07918 788982).

Has anyone ever taught you: How to connect with people? How to share your story? How to share God’s story, the gospel? How to invite someone to read the Bible with you and discover Jesus for themselves?

Our 'NO PLACE LEFT: Training morning' will equip you to make disciples among people who are far from God, using simple, reproducing methods.

This training has been run in many different settings, and wherever people implement it, we hear stories of people coming to faith in Jesus and learning to follow him in discipleship.

We're really excited to have our dear friend Russell Godward with us for the morning.

We'll gather at a local home ready for 9:30am, there will be some tasty pastries with tea/coffee on arrival.

We'll have an hour or so of inspiring training and equipping, then an hour going out onto the streets, going from person to person and home to home with the Gospel. We'll then head back and share all of the exciting stories of what Jesus has done together!

Outcomes:
• Catch a vision for multiplying disciples.
• Identify your relational world.
• Connect with people far from God.
• Share your story.
• Share God’s story, the gospel.
• Find the people in whom God is already working.
• Lead people to Jesus through Discovery Bible Study.
• Train new disciples to follow and obey Christ through Discovery Bible Study.
