22 January 2026 | Bracknell, UK [Petrian Menzies with tedNEWS<\/em>]<\/p>\n

On Sunday 11 January, ADRA-UK<\/a> joined pastors, elders and church members at the South England Conference (SEC) Evangelism Expo 2026, a flagship gathering designed to equip local churches for mission in a modern, multicultural world.<\/p>\n

With more than 29,000 members worshipping across over 200 churches, the South England Conference is characterised by significant ethnic and cultural diversity. Conference leaders say this diversity is a strength, and that it brings a responsibility to serve communities with compassion, justice and love in practical and visible ways.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, ADRA-UK engaged attendees at its exhibition stand, demonstrating how humanitarian action and gospel mission go hand in hand. ADRA translates God\u2019s love into action, from crisis response to community development, supporting the vulnerable, restoring dignity, and empowering churches to serve their communities more effectively.<\/p>\n

The Evangelism Expo also provided an opportunity to highlight the role of local ADRA Ambassadors, church members who act as the link between their local congregations and national ADRA-UK initiatives. These ambassadors are equipped with a welcome pack, mission training resources and a supportive network to mobilise church involvement and strengthen community impact. Churches are encouraged to appoint an ADRA Ambassador<\/a>, and where possible, an ADRA Youth Ambassador to work alongside them. Once appointed, ambassadors can register with ADRA-UK to receive ongoing support and mission-focused resources.<\/p>\n

As churches seek to serve diverse communities across the South England Conference, ADRA-UK continues to support and inspire them to live out compassion, love and justice in their daily witness.<\/p>\n
