Phil Prior talking to David about Focus's vision

'Seize the Day' podcast #4 - May 2009: Bryan Knell talks about how churches can change how they approach mission. (18 mins)

Bryan Knell

'Churches shouldn't write a World Mission policy. They should write a policy that involves world mission. World mission thinking, world mission practice, world mission strategy is not something you organise on the side, as an extra, but has got to be part of the whole thing. So a church needs a strategic policy, a vision for where it is going as a church - and that needs to include the ends of the Earth.'

Bryan Knell is Church Relations Director at Global Connections, the network of UK Mission Agencies.
