Evangelism Everyone
Everywhere
The SEC President, Pastor
Richard de Lisser, has
outlined a vision for the next
four years as: EVANGELISM,
EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.
The Premise for this vision is
found in the gospel of
Mathew 28:19,20. “Go ye
therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost…..
Our Mandate
The South England
Conference seeks to
encourage each of its
members to get involved in
outreach and mission in
the local community.
Everyone is called to
Evangelism to reach
Everyone Everywhere in
our communities.
As a church our modus
operandi is Evangelism!

“The Relevant church” – You
and I become relevant to our
communities. “The salt of the
earth”, and “The light of the
world”
Our measurable target for
the quadrennium will be to
baptize 5000 souls.
There will be Conference
wide dates for baptisms
which will fall on the last
Sabbath of every quarter.
With Everyone on board we
can baptize 5000!!!
What would a Relevant church look like ?
A Spiritually Hungry Church
What does it mean?
As the church becomes
more hungry for God’s
word and His character,
it will see improvements
in the the personal and
spiritual lives of
members & Pastors alike
What would it take to become a more Spiritually Hungry church?
A Resourceful Church
What does it mean?
Increase in tithe & gift aid to
support SEC Missions
Therefore there must be
money for mission!
The South England
Conference with your help
will seek to raise £65 million
in tithe and £15 million in Gift
Aid by the year 2019.
This will enable us to move
the mission of the church
forward. As we give more we
can do more!
Money Follows Mission
What would it take to become a more Resourceful church?

Final thoughts
The Psalmist said in Psalm 85:6, “Wilt thou
not revive us again that thou people may
rejoice in thee?
Revival brings rejoicing and soul winning
brings joy! Luke 15:10. “There is joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repents”
