Christians in Politics's video: Introducing the Influence Course

Welcome to the Influence Course: Your Journey Into God’s Heart for Good Governance. To find out more visit: http://www.influencecourse.co.uk Through six interactive sessions that include unique videos introducing the overall theme, followed by feedback, teaching, a fun activity, a 'takeaway' challenge and prayer, you will be able to explore and discover what your own part to play might be. The response to the course has already been exciting, with some participants standing for local council, some forming new campaigning movements, others who have managed to get some roadworks quickly sorted by their local council and some getting a question asked at Prime Minister's Questions. Come Join in! "An upbeat, practical, biblically rich, creatively written and successfully tested guide to help you and your church get purposefully and productively engaged.” –Mark Greene, Mission Champion and former CEO of LICC.” http://www.christiansinpolitics.org.uk As Christians we know how to make noise. It’s in our DNA. Whether it’s trumpets at Jericho, cymbals in the Psalms, or worship bands with huge PAs. We can mobilise huge numbers of people to march to make poverty history, send emails about climate change, or write letters about abortion. But there’s a difference between just making noise and having real influence. That difference is RELATIONSHIP. Can we make the journey from disconnected armchair commentators to participants who are being salt and light in the midst rather than at the edge of society? We all have influence. The Influence Course, will give you a biblical understanding of God’s call for every one of us to be involved in the public square. It’s not all about being a candidate – as the course says, it’s as important to be holding the clipboard as it is to be holding the microphone. Everyone has a part to play
