Get in the GAP
Jun. 2 2008I wanted to let you all know about a great opportunity to participate in worldwide mission in the UK by going over for 11 months and serving a church there.
To learn more check out the below info about GAP (Grow and Proclaim) from the GAP website or skip all that text and watch this video where Pete Greaseley, the Sr. Pastor at Christchurch, explains the program.
__________
GROW AND PROCLAIM (GAP)
The GAP Team year is a full-time placement year given over to taking the glorious message of Jesus Christ out into the communities around us, as well as to growing more in understanding, learning and love for God. Throughout the year the team is fully immersed in Christchurch, in both training and evangelism. They also have the opportunity to go on an overseas mission trip to see how the gospel is going forward in other nations. The GAP Team is for anyone over eighteen who is eager to devote a year of their lives to growing in understanding and character, and who is passionate about serving God through the proclamation of the glorious gospel.
WHEN IS IT?
11 months full time, from September 2008 – July 2009
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
The GAP Team fee is £1000. Christchurch is subsidizing the year for the folk on the team, providing the rest of the money needed for housing costs, traveling expenses and the overseas missions trip. The only additional cost for you will be food and general spending money.
WHAT WILL I BE DOING?
_Training & Studying
_Student & University Work
_Children’s & Youth Work
_Getting Involved at Christchurch
WHERE WILL I BE BASED?
In single-gender GAP Team houses in Newport, close to the Christchurch Centre.
IF YOU’RE INTERESTED
If you are interested, please fill in and send the application form you can find at the bottom of the page on the GAP website.
Christchurch will then organize an initial conversation with you to discuss your hopes for the year and your suitability for this team. We will also contact your pastor asking him to fill out a reference for you.

wow, this program is a fantastic idea!
i have spent the past year interning with an mission organization, and it has been one of the best times of my life. i feel so changed and i think others are changed through outreach as well.
so, i’m totally stoked for those who will be a part of the gap team because i know the potential that is there for their lives to be changed, their world to become bigger, and for others to be reached with the gospel. it’s so exciting!
