THE GOSPEL DELIVERY PROJECT
Good News for every home.
What is The Gospel Delivery Project?
The Gospel Delivery Project is a citywide initiative to offer the message of Jesus to every home in Sheffield.
Over five years, trained volunteers will personally deliver a Gospel of Mark, designed with images and stories that link it to Sheffield, to around 250,000 households across the city.
The project is not just about distributing books, it’s about equipping Christians to share their faith naturally and helping people explore the Bible and connect with their local church community.
Why The Gospel Delivery Project?
There is growing interest in faith and the Bible in the UK, especially among younger generations.
Research shows that many people are open to exploring the Bible, and nearly half of new believers say reading it played a key role in their journey to faith.
The Gospel Delivery Project aims to respond to this moment by making the Gospel easily accessible to every household in Sheffield and creating opportunities for people to encounter God’s love.
2026 Pilot
The Gospel Delivery Project will roll out over approximately five years, with pilot delivery areas beginning in June 2026.
Initial neighbourhoods such as Parson Cross and Hackenthorpe will help test and refine the approach before expanding across the city.
The long-term goal is to reach every one of Sheffield’s roughly 250,000 homes within this timeframe.
How will The Gospel Delivery Project be actioned?
Local churches and volunteers will take part in organised delivery seasons.
Teams will prayer-walk neighbourhoods and deliver postcards letting residents know a visit is coming.
Trained volunteers will then visit homes to offer a Gospel booklet and a friendly conversation.
Each area will have local volunteers paired with experienced evangelists, with routes and responses logged through a dedicated delivery app to coordinate the effort effectively.
Who is supporting or partnering with The Gospel Delivery Project?
The project is supported by several organisations that specialise in prayer and mission.
The Hive Network is helping with training for delivery teams, while the Prayer Walk App is being adapted to manage delivery routes and logistics.
Financial support has also been provided by national funders including the Lauderdale Trust and the Deo Gloria Trust, alongside local trusts and individual donors.
