Premier Magazine

9 months ago, one of our staff started a conversation with Premier* through a strongly worded letter. It addressed an article that dismissed short term missions. Instead of ending the conversation there, we proposed writing an article countering this narrative. Over a series of conversations, this escalated until Premier invited us to guest edit the October edition of Premier Christianity. The theme was missions – and it was timed to coincide with an annual week of mission that Premier run every October. The articles would also go on their website.

In the past 6 months, many of our staff have been working hard with Premier to put together articles for the magazine. The vision has been to inspire readers that God is alive and at work today, to encourage them by addressing common obstacles to sharing their faith, and to enable them to talk to others about Jesus by offering ideas. Here are some of the articles we are featuring – 

• The story of a Farsi-speaking Agapé UK staff member, who is now sharing the Gospel with millions (written by another staff member)
• The testimony of a friend of the ministry, who lived through a Japanese prisoner of war camp as a very young child, and has since had a very eventful life on mission
• An interview with a Turkish student leader in London, who has been on mission on her campus.
• An article giving people ten simple ideas on how to share your faith with those God has placed you amongst.
• This playlist of modern Christian music from around the globe, that gives you a glimpse of Jesus’s global church worshipping him in different languages, picked by Agapé UK staff and partners. 
• A nuanced article on why Short Term Missions done well can be a great thing

 

And so much more!
