Short-Term Missions

We adopted the name Bridge-Builders in January 2004 to reflect our desire to help Christians build bridges to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those who have yet to know Jesus. One of the ways in which we seek to encourage Christians to share their faith is to embark on a short-term mission.

We believe that “practice makes perfect”. The same way in which we practise golf, playing a musical instrument or solving mathematical problems in order to be better at these things, we need practice at sharing our faith. We take Christians away in a team to practise, whether in the UK or overseas and give training on how to share their faith one-to-one.

We have been told by many ex team members that being on a mission team away from home helped them in sharing the Gospel when they went back to their own family and friends.

A member of the Chester Tell-A-Tourist (TAT) campaign 2006 shares:

"With street evangelism being new to me I was surprised at the number of people who are really willing and open to hear about Jesus. While I have been here, I’ve understood more about God being in control.  Whether or not someone accepts a tract or stops to chat, God is the one who thaws their heart. God can prepare people’s hearts and use each conversation, whether we think it went well or not. I’ve also realised the huge importance of prayer in evangelism.  Nothing is done without praying first at TAT, it clearly affects the work greatly. I’ve been really blessed over these few days and experienced the joy of sharing Jesus with people!  I now feel encouraged and so much more confident and ready to share my faith with people back home."
