THE GOSPEL DELIVERY PROJECT

Good News for every home.

A citywide mission to offer the message of Jesus to every home in Sheffield.

Over five years, trained volunteers will deliver a beautifully designed Gospel of Mark, rooted in Sheffield’s story, to around 250,000 households.

More than distribution, it’s about equipping Christians to share their faith naturally and helping people explore the Bible and connect with local churches.

The ARISE story so far…

  • In March 2021, over 1,500 believers from nearly 100 different churches rose up together to prayer walk Sheffield

  • We were emboldened in our faith in a new way. We formed new local relationships, and as a result people around Sheffield encountered Jesus for the first time.

  • Arisers told us that they felt more purposeful, connected, and energised: their faith was exciting them in a new way.

  • ARISE developed with year initiatives with resources and events designed to help Christians live a life of faith.

  • We know God has not finished fulfilling His purposes in Sheffield, so this year we're continuing to pray to see Sheffield transformed. Let’s do this together!
