Welcome to Wycliffe College

Wednesday, 13 September 2006 marked the beginning of the Wednesday Community Events once more at Wycliffe College. Students and faculty listened to Bob Johnston from Scripture Union Canada . Mr. Johnston has had a hand in some amazing evangelism events. He retold how one church offered services on Sundays at the pool, so parents could go to church while their children were taking swimming lessons. Also, how one church rented some of its land to the town of Waterloo for soccer fields, and in turn had a large World Cup Party that mixed soccer and the message together, and was a huge success.

What Mr. Johnston kept coming back to was the need for churches to realize their strengths and gifts and to
find out what the community around them needs. There are no pre-packaged deals for a pastor to buy and simply implement. He and Scripture Union help to decipher what is special about the church and what the needs of the community are in order for the two to form a powerful bond. It’s about serving churches to reach other people for Christ, and that is what Mr. Johnston loves about his job—it’s not about him, or his ministry, it’s about serving the Church.
