Webinar: Kingdom & Culture by Stronger Network

Stronger Network

Kingdom & Culture

This is a unique moment in the history of the UK Church.

We’re witnessing major cultural shifts, a rapid technological revolution, and endured a global pandemic that has enforced months of lockdown on the entire UK Population.

The Church finds itself at a cultural tipping point. This moment in time offers the people of God a challenge – will we lean into our true identity as salt and light, or will we allow the world to squeeze us into its mold?

Sit in on some sessions with prominent leaders who will help you reflect on the culture of God’s Kingdom and how it contrasts to prevailing culture. Hear practical lessons that can equip you for a courageous Christ-centred faith journey in a changing world.

Malcolm Gray

In 2018, Malcolm and his family moved from Thailand to Coventry with a passion for equipping the UK church to engage cross-culturally and inspiring a new generation to be authentic Kingdom ambassadors. He is the UK director of Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ (WEC), an international church-planting organisation with members engaging the peoples of the world who have the least accessibility to the Gospel. It’s all about crossing cultures to see God’s Kingdom established among every tribe, language and nation.

Malcolm’s parents were missionaries in Laos. He was born in Thailand and grew up in the Philippines. In 2001, he and his Swedish wife joined WEC and headed for Thailand, involved in evangelism and church-planting among the rural Buddhist communities in Central Thailand. He later served as the WEC Thailand director for 9 years, which included serving on the national board of the Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand.
