Mission Matters podcast

In the latest episode of Mission Matters, we hear from Rev. Frank Bernardi, rector of St George’s Anglican Church in Tunis, who has witnessed extraordinary growth in the Church in Tunisia over the past 25 years.
From just a handful of believers in the 1990s to a vibrant and growing indigenous church today — this is a story of prayer, courage, restored families, and Gospel hope in North Africa.
✨ “You can see Jesus in every member of this church. They are like a family to me.”
Be inspired. Be challenged. Let’s mission together.

The Quiet Revival

In the latest Mission Matters podcast from the Church of Ireland’s Council for Mission podcast, we welcome Dr Julie McKinley (from the Bible Society Ireland) and Dr Rhiannon McAleer (from the British and Foreign Bible Society, covering England and Wales) to unpack the ground-breaking findings of The Quiet Revival report.

Julie and Rhiannon discuss the surprising surge in church attendance and spiritual hunger among young adults, particularly young men, in England and Wales, which is grassroots, authentic, and driven by a search for meaning.

In this episode, we explore:

Why Gen Z is today’s most spiritually engaged generation
The dramatic increase in church attendance and ethnic diversity in congregations
The link between faith, well-being and community connection
What this Quiet Revival means for the future of the Church

Proclaiming the Gospel through suffering

“What happens when people have to move home in a hurry?” Bishop Hassan Osman, who is Assistant Bishop of Kadugli and Nuba Mountains in the Episcopal Church of Sudan, answers this and many other questions about the often-forgotten conflict in his region of the country in this Mission Matters podcast.
The Nuba Mountain region is a land that is rich in mineral resources and diversity of people groups. Since the early 1980s, this area has been volatile – air bombardments and land offensives continue as the Sudanese Government tries to control the region. It is here that Bishop Hassan chooses to stay.
His ministry, shared in this 12-minute interview, is characterised by being present with the people of the Nuba Mountains, working towards peace as he tries to mitigate the impact of conflict on the communities he serves.
