Resources: Across the Street and Across the World
On 29 February we’ll be hosting our event ‘Across the Steet and Across the World’ in Belfast. We’ll be looking at how God wants to use us to share his goodness and grace to those around us, whether that’s by crossing the street or crossing the world.
We hope these resources help provide inspiration and practical advice as you get involved in God’s plan to bless the world.

Books
Christianity is growing at a phenomenal pace in the global South, yet it’s a story we don’t often hear.
In this book, Miriam Adeney draws on her rich experience living, travelling and ministering around the world. She has walked with Christians in and from the far reaches of the globe. As she pulls back the veil on real Christians--their faith, their hardships, their triumphs and, yes, their failures--an inspiring and challenging story of a kingdom that knows no borders takes shape.
