Willowfield’s John Menagh is commissioned as a Church Army evangelist
Congratulations to John Menagh who has been admitted and commissioned as a Church Army evangelist. He is pictured (below) with Church Army Chief Executive Mark Russell.
Jo hn came to faith through a Church Army evangelist in his home parish of Willowfield in Belfast. He now works as outreach coordinator for the church. John also oversees numerous evangelistic events and ongoing mission initiatives in the area. He is also involved in running Alpha courses, door–to–door ministry and various discipleship groups.
John said: “Today has been a great day. It feels special to be part of the Church Army family and everyone has made me feel so welcome. The Church Army training I’ve received has helped me to be introspective in both recognising my strengths and working on my weaknesses. My plan now is to continue growing and working in my role as outreach coordinator.”
The event, held on 16 July at the Wilson Carlile Centre in Sheffield, was attended by over 130 people. The service was led by the Bishop of Leicester, Martyn Snow.
New Church Army Evangelist Jane Emson was also admitted and commissioned. Jane has been working for several years as a faith development worker for the Parish Church of Saint John the Baptist Owlerton in Sheffield.
John and Jane will be continuing in their ministry to the people of Belfast and Sheffield respectively.
