Cultivate

Could you help cultivate leadership in Ireland through a regular gift?

You already know that there are Christian leaders across Ireland who need support, equipping and encouragement. Maybe you’re one of them! These leaders and teams have the passion and calling to serve their communities, but they can’t do it alone. They need someone to keep walking alongside them, helping them to grow.

Will you come alongside these leaders and teams, and help cultivate their leadership skills? Even better than a one-off gift is a considered, ongoing contribution to this mission. Together, we can partner with pioneering ministries, and equip them with the skills and resources they need to bring the hope of Jesus.

Can you commit to a regular gift to grow more leaders in Ireland? If you would prefer to give by standing order, or at a different frequency, please get in touch.

To encourage you as you take part in God’s mission through your regular gift, we’d love to offer you one of the three books below. All three are written by people leading here in Ireland. You’ll also receive news and updates from us by post twice a year, that we don’t share with our wider audience.

Together, we can see the hope of Jesus brought to Ireland as we cultivate leadership that brings lasting transformation.

 

Deep Roots of Resilient Disciples
Rick Hill (Secretary to the Council of Mission for IrelandPresbyterian Church in Ireland) explores how modern Christians can maintain strong, lasting faith despite cultural shifts that push Christianity to the margins. The book offers guidance on intentional discipleship, drawing on the life of Jesus to help readers build a faith that withstands challenges, without compromise, and remains vibrant in today’s world.

Gloriously Ordinary (Embracing Incarnational Mission in Contemporary Ireland)
Ruth Garvey Williams (editor of VOX magazine) brings together stories and reflections from ordinary people seeking to live out the kingdom of God in Ireland today. Looking at the ministry of Jesus, she asks how faith communities to consider what this means for their own contexts, and how they should respond.

Down With This Sort of Thing (How is the Gospel Good News in Contemporary Ireland?) 
Fraser Hosford (Pastor of Dublin West Community Church) identifies strands of today’s increasingly secular Irish culture (some of which are a reaction to the faith experience of the past) and relates Jesus and His teachings to these new values. Can the Jesus of the Scriptures interact with this culture and bring hope to it?

“Innovista Ireland are excellent at not just developing engaging training content, but also delivering that in a collaborative learning environment that regularly brings together leaders from a range of contexts and experiences. ”

Rick Hill, Discipleship & Leadership Development Officer, Presbyterian Church in Ireland

“Innovista’s training asks leaders to dream and engage. It encourages leaders to look at their community and how they can be empowered to be the change in their community. Innovista is motivated by faith to see people lead in places with mercy, grace, and justice.”

Susie Keegan, Diocesan Youth Officer, Dublin & Glendalough

“The workshop helped us come up with ideas that would normally take weeks. As a leader I found it really helpful having Innovista facilitate the workshop. It allowed all of us to give opinions more freely”

Seamus Kerr, Liffey Valley Vineyard
