“The theme of connection is a clear thread through these materials which provide valuable resources for churches wanting to reach out to unconnected and disconnected people – I am pleased to commend them.”

Michael Harvey, Founder of Back To Church Sunday initiative and Author

“Connect 4 Life offers to churches an integrated approach to discipleship which is outward looking yet God focussed. This could be a vital resource for 21st century leaders.”

Steve Clifford, General Director, Evangelical Alliance

Read more
“With so many lures and temptations from the world around us, C4L has shown itself to be vitally essential. It serves as a guide towards and through things of goodness, joy and hope for the future. It seeks to offer life where the world offers none. A life to be lived in Christ.”

Kerry – user of C4L

“HMP Chaplains and Prison Fellowship volunteers are inviting me into their prisons to share my testimony with prisoners serving prison sentences throughout the UK. Follow up is crucial in building a firm foundation in the lives of people who make a commitment to the Christian faith.

“I wanted a resource that I could give to a friend that was easy to follow, had sound biblical teaching, and allowed them to evaluate their faith and place within the church. Disconnected- Give it 7 days did not disappoint.”

Ceini – user of C4L

Read more
“I’ve been happy to give C4L resources favourable reviews, especially finding the resources to reach out to disconnected people being excellent. There is very useful material to churches looking to make connections and reconnections.

Read more
“In our disconnected society if we are to do more than inoculate people from making real connections with church, we must ask some hard questions and act upon the findings. Here is a way to do just that.”

Rev Cid Latty, Cafechurch Network

Read more
“I believe that we have been greatly blessed by the resource which is undoubtedly going to be of real benefit to Baptist Union Churches and any evangelical and missionally minded Churches. It will fit excellently pre-Alpha with the Big Welcome and Crossing Places.”

Clive Burnard – Senior Pastor, Andover Baptist Church

Read more
“I am passionate to see the lives of people transformed by hearing God speak in the Bible. I am delighted to endorse these new resources – I really hope many churches will use them and that many people will find a fresh sense of identity, value and purpose through a connection to Christ and truly discover the life to the full that He gives.”

Canon Dr Ann Holt OBE, Director of Programme

Read more
“I love the vision of C4L to equip churches and leaders for discipleship and mission. In Harvest Church it was an effective springboard into Alpha with the unconnected, and important reconnections were also made. I pray that C4L will go on to become a mighty tool that is widely used with great impact.”

Simon Corlett, pastor of Harvest Church , Alton (affiliated to New frontiers)

Read more
“The command to make disciples remains as clear today as when first issued. Therefore, getting people, whether inside or outside the church, fully connected with God and His Church is the primary issue for any church leader. C4L is a wonderful set of tools to enable churches to make those connections. I commend this material to you.”

Rev Howard Wright, Rural Dean of Alton and vicar of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Four Marks

Read more
“The more I look through the material, the more I am convinced it fits exactly where we are as a church in so many areas. Discipleship, bridge to Alpha, encouraging the return of prodigals, jargon free, etc. All looks like ideal timing to me ... I am confident – some would even say, excited – about the course and materials.”

Ian Burnham, Director of Small Group Ministry, Andover Baptist Church

Read more
“I am impressed by the scope of the initiative ... The strength of the scheme is that it is aimed at a number of very real discipleship targets in an age when the Church is:

• challenging its committed people to deeper discipleship
• seeking to reach the many who are unconnected

Read more
“C4L reinterprets for new generations the gospel imperative to ‘abide in me’. Step-by-step it shows what Jesus meant by ‘abide in my love’. Here, though, there’s no archaic language ... only plenty of fresh ways to get a handle on what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century.

Read more
“C4L really is excellent material giving a refreshing new way forward for relevant outreach to supplement Alpha and Christianity Explored. I love the clarity of the visuals, the layout of the questions and the user-friendly accessible style. I pray that it will be widely used and am pleased to commend it to churches, leaders and all who want to help people connect or reconnect with God.”

Stephen Gaukroger, former pastor of Gold Hill Baptist Church , President of the Baptist Union and Director of Clarion Trust International

Read more
‘My continuing research of church trends and the situation facing Christianity in the UK indicates that more effective connections need to be made if the decline is to be reversed. The resources of Connect4life present an important new opportunity to help churches forge those new connections with both ‘unchurched’ and ‘de-churched’ – they are worth checking out’.

Dr Peter Brierley

“Britain needs the Gospel more than ever and so I am pleased that there is this exciting resource for churches to use in reaching out with the Old Message in a new way”

The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Lord George Carey of Clifton

Read more
“I thought I led a good, kind life – I knew right from wrong, good from bad. However, I would sometimes react badly and unhelpfully to what life threw at me. A good friend introduced me to C4L. I found the course searching, insightful and full of hope. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of living. With the prospect of becoming ‘connected’ I joined an Alpha Course.”

Lesley, user of unconnected materials

Read more
“Both booklets have been, and continue to be, very helpful. They are easy to read and understand; the direct questions have caused much soul searching, which although difficult for me to address at times has always been positive.”
Linda, user of disconnected/ reconnected materials
