This autumn, Steve Beegoo has begun a new role within Christian Concern. As an organisation we have become increasingly aware that education has become a key battleground in our defence of Christian freedoms and in advancing the hope of the gospel to the next generation. Because of your support we have been able to invest in this position. The number of issues and cases related to education has grown hugely over the last few years, and we believe this is a strategic appointment.
Please do support Christian Concern so we can develop this work. See this video below to see what we are hoping to achieve.
Defining Issue
If you want to understand why education is a significant gospel issue to support, please watch this persuasive and challenging talk presented in October 2020.
In this video Steve explains the trajectory of church decline, its link to children and their education, the biblical mandate and what can be done to turn this tide. Could the church be gone by 2067?
