Over 70 supporters and staff spent a unique and uplifting day together on Saturday 30th November, to give thanks and celebrate the close of Langham UKI’s ‘Magnify’ fundraising campaign.
The day began with breakfast at Euston station for over 20 staff and supporters, followed by a train journey to Carlisle in a private carriage.
Upon arrival, guests shared a fellowship lunch together, joined by 50 more staff and supporters.
Magnify Campaign completion
The event marked the end of the ‘Magnify’ campaign, which officially launched in April last year. LPUKI was challenged to raise £6.2 million as part of a global effort to double the ministry and impact of God’s work.
By God’s grace, the campaign has been remarkably successful, with just £200,000 needed to ‘get over the line’.
During the thanksgiving service at Hebron Evangelical Church (after the lunch) Rev Dr Chris Wright, Langham’s Global Ambassador, spoke on Exodus 35 – 36, a different kind of ‘Magnify’ campaign…
Responding with great generosity
For the great tabernacle project and vision, the people responded with great generosity, willing hearts and skilled hands – Langham is grateful that its supporters have reacted similarly to our campaign.
Attendees also heard from two Langham Scholars, who spoke about their studies and Langham’s sponsorship. Find out how you can pray for them in these short videos.
And a powerful video about the humble beginnings of the Langham Preaching programme in Latin America inspired supporters, sharing how training has changed churches and transformed lives.
Visiting the Langham Service Centre
The highlight of the day for many though, was a visit to the Langham Service Centre in Carlisle – the beating heart of Langham’s global ministries. It contains the programmes’ finance and administration departments; publishing; the literature warehouse; and more!
Supporters could talk to staff, admire thousands of books in the warehouse and at one point in the afternoon, Riad Kassis (Langham’s International Director) joined them on Zoom from Lebanon.
Feedback from attendees was highly positive:
“The day was very enjoyable and extremely informative.”
“Everything was arranged superbly – a most enterprising event.”
“It was just a fantastic day, the Lord blessed us!”
“Thank you to whole team; so very good to see Langham in action.”
