Dear Brothers and Sisters in Gafcon,
In two weeks’ time we’ll be celebrating Gafcon Sunday on June 29, and to help us prepare, here’s our third purpose—to grow orthodox leaders.
There’s an urgent need to recruit, train and strengthen gospel ministers for the vital work of defending and teaching the truth.
We are committed to equipping all God’s people for the work of ministry, so that the body of Christ might be built up in truth and love.
Firstly, we grow orthodox leaders by recruiting ministers.
We promote lay and ordained Anglican ministry, praying that the Lord of the harvest will raise up shepherds to sacrificially lead his church.
Secondly, we grow orthodox leaders by strengthening seminaries.
We support like-minded colleges by providing a network of mutual encouragement to enhance faithful and sound theological education.
Thirdly, we grow orthodox leaders by facilitating consecrations.
We enable the consecration of duly-elected bishops, providing essential episcopal oversight for orthodox Anglicans, where needed.
Fourthly, we grow orthodox leaders by equipping bishops.
We provide a foundation for our overseers by investing in the Bishops Training Institute (BTI) for their godly formation.
Will you help grow orthodox leaders by giving generously to Gafcon?
On June 29, celebrate Gafcon Sunday with millions around the globe by praying the Gafcon Collect, playing our special video, and collecting a special thanksgiving offering for us.
Thank you for praying for our leaders as we grow them for God’s glory.
Yours in Christ,
Bishop Paul Donison,
General Secretary, Gafcon
PS: We’d love you to pray the Gafcon Collect on June 29!
