 is a WEC International ministry reaching out to the unreached minority ethnic groups resident in the UK, through evangelism and church planting.
Reaching our ethnic minority neighbours
 The
UK has a large, thriving and growing population of people who have
come here from areas of the world where the Gospel is not easily
heard. Among them are two million Muslims, 600,000 Sikhs and 500,000
Hindus. Although they live in the UK, most of them have no real
knowledge of Christ nor any contact with the Christian church.
Neighbours
Worldwide is a ministry of WEC International, an interdenominational
missionary agency. We believe in the promise of God that people from
every nation, tribe and language will be found in His Kingdom, and
members of these peoples are found in many of our towns and cities.
God has brought them to our doorsteps that we may win them for
Christ.
The Neighbours team are committed to reaching them with the gospel of Christ. We are also
committed to pray for those who are resistant to the gospel. Prayer
releases the power of God, and brings down the barriers that have
prevented these people from hearing and accepting the gospel.
Where it
all began
The
ministry of Neighbours Worldwide began in 1970, when WEC workers
from the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East came to the West
Midlands to work among people whose languages and culture they
already knew. Evangelism and the production and distribution of
literature led to many friendships and two Asian churches were
formed.
Currently
Neighbours Worldwide is a growing team, currently working in Birmingham, Wolverhampton
and Walsall. Their vision is to expand the work to London, Leicester
and other towns, and are open to developing different kinds of
ministry. They meet every month in a forum for discussion, fellowship,
prayer and forward planning. In recent years the ministry has
received fresh impetus and new workers.
-
Ministry in Asian churches, Bible studies, pastoral
visiting, children's and youth work.
-
Evangelism by door to door visitation, literature
distribution, street work and developing friendships.
-
The production of literature in various languages,
including Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and English.
-
Training new workers, and mobilising local churches to
share faith cross-culturally.
Unique
ministry to unique individuals
 The aim of Neighbours Worldwide is to see Christ known, loved and worshipped among these
communities. We stand for the supremacy of the Bible over cultural
norms. Generally, we encourage new believers, especially those who
are fluent in English to worship in existing churches. There are
times, however, when the conventional British church is not suitable
for people from other cultures. For such people, they aim to plant
churches where believers can worship God in a setting which is in harmony
with their cultural background.
