Ministry Report 2020
‘Give thanks to the Lord…Remember the wondrous works he has done’
1 Chronicles 16
‘Unprecedented’ seems to be one of the buzzwords of the year. It usually describes the challenges and setbacks that we’ve all experienced these last months. The Union family hasn’t been unaffected by these challenges; however, I’m delighted that in this ministry report we can use that word in an overwhelmingly positive sense. Because in the Lord’s kindness, this year really has been one of unprecedent growth for Union. Our School’s enrolment this year is the highest in our history, our Mission ministry has nearly doubled the number of countries in which we support church planting, and our Publishing ministry hasdeveloped a major new series of resources to fuel the growth of Christ’s church. All this means that we have seen more and more leaders growing in Christ and deployed around the world to grow his church. I hope this ministry report will offer a glimpse into how your support and prayers have enabled this to happen. As we press on, the challenges we face stem from this growth. With more students and Learning Communities come greater demands on our faculty and team; new publishing resources generate a need for better platforms; and with more graduates who have a vision for church planting comes more need for funding. Please stand with us in prayerful support so that we might meet these opportunities and see even more leaders raised up and churches planted for the glory of God. Dr Michael Reeves President
