Yesterday I promised to blog about the two other speakers at the next 300 Leaders conference. Dave Devenish should be no stranger to regular readers of this blog, as I have serialised a chapter of his outstanding book Fathering Leaders, Motivating Mission, and interviewed him. His is a remarkable man who gave up a successful career in international banking to serve Jesus. Content to minister alongside Terry Virgo, he has been a massive part of what God has been doing through Newfrontiers for … [Read more...]

August 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The Reformed, Charismatic & Missional conference, put on by Acts29 and Newfrontiers was a great success this year.

Confluence author Bryan Mowrey got a chance to sit down with each of these leaders and ask some questions a lot of people have been asking. In this video, Bryan speaks with Terry Virgo about roadblocks he has hit in helping people fully embrace charismatic gifts in life and leadership … [Read more...]

During Adrian's month away from the blog, he has hand-picked a selection of the most popular posts of the year so far to re-run. Today we feature, John Piper's interview with Rick Warren on doctrine and The Purpose Driven Life. John Piper and Rick Warren are friends who come from slightly different wings of the modern church. It was great to see them discuss what unites them. As I keep saying, we have enough true enemies of the gospel at work today that all who love the age-old truths of … [Read more...]

A pioneering woman, pt 3 By Claire Musters Here is the third part of my interview with Wendy Virgo. As you have both grown in your ministry, to the local church and internationally, has your understanding of any issues changed over the years? Have your approaches changed at all? I think that principles do not change, but the ways they are applied must be flexible. As we have got involved in church planting in other countries we have had to learn a lot about cross-cultural issues; we had … [Read more...]

A pioneering woman, pt 2 By Claire Musters Here is the second part of my interview with Wendy Virgo. How did you juggle supporting your husband and being involved in ministry while you raised such a large family? What were the biggest challenges? Very early in our marriage, Terry and I redefined what we meant by “ministry”. Everything in our lives was to be seen as under the umbrella of serving God; there was no distinction between “sacred” and “secular”. So my ministry to God … [Read more...]

August 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment
A pioneering woman, pt 1 By Claire Musters Wendy Virgo has always had a pioneering spirit. She married Terry in 1968 and they moved to a small town on the south coast called Seaford. At that stage, they had no idea that eventually the work that began there would spread to hundreds of churches in 60 nations around the world. I had the privilege of interviewing Wendy Virgo in the run up to the last Newfrontiers International Brighton Leaders’ Conference. I asked her about various different … [Read more...]

What makes Terry Virgo tick? Relational, evangelistically relevant churches
October 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Terry Virgo has posted the first of a series of videos looking at the seventeen values that have helped to shape his ministry over the years. They are expressed as what kind of churches he has been trying to plant and establish. The goal is therefore that a Newfrontiers church will reflect each of these values. The first value is: ‘A gospel-preaching church that is loving, righteous in its lifestyle, involved in world mission and reaching the unsaved in its community by both public and … [Read more...]
Tope Koleoso interview and your invitation to the Autumn 300 Conference
September 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This autumn we are running another 300 conference here in Enfield, London. If you have been reading this blog for a while, you will have seen me speak of my love for my home church. I joined Jubilee back in 1995, and for the first 10 years we experienced the challenges of being a slow growing church plant. They were good years, and years when deep friendships were formed within an emerging leadership team. We learnt a lot together, but although we did hold onto promises from God, we would not … [Read more...]
