New campaign reflects ‘British’ culture  

Many churches have expressed concern that so many resources now come from the States and using those resources may cause some resistance from members of their congregations.  

This new campaign called ‘Building Relationships’ with God’s Love has been revised and adapted from the original teaching by Rick Warren and his team so that UK churches can easily  use this resource.  The campaign is based on 1 Corinthians 13 and looks at applying God's love into our relationships, church, home and all personal situations. 

We have spent many months ensuring that our UK culture is carefully considered in the presentation of these materials and that any 'americanisms' that may cause confusion  are removed.

In addition the six weeks DVD teaching will be taught by Rev David Beer and the Sunday school and youth resources  have been compiled by a group of UK youth leaders. 

We are confident that this resource will be suitable for a wide range of church sizes and denominations 

The campaign pack has a wide range of resources on CD for weekend services, small groups and all ages.  This includes sermon transcripts, short video sketches and helps for small groups and leaders. The pack has a course manual for the campaign administrator , which covers all areas of planning needed for the smooth running of this event.

Comment by Rick Warren

" We live in a world where knowledge is exploding.  It doubles about every six years in our society.  We are smarter than we have ever been before, more than any other generation.  But we still have the same old problems - war, terrorism, crime, abuse, prejudice, hatred, violence.  Why?  Because what the world needs is not more knowledge; it needs more love.  Without love, nothing I say will matter, and without love, nothing I know will matter.  All the knowledge in the world can't compensate for it.

God says I can have the eloquence of an orator, the knowledge of a genius, the faith of a miracle worker, the generosity of a philanthropist, the achievements of a superstar, but if I don't have love in my heart, it is worth zero.  It does not count.  the only thing that matters to God is do I love Him and do I love other people"  (Quoted from 40 Days of Love campaign on which this UK campaign is based)
