A Call to Mission at Cullybackey Elim Church

A Call To Mission at Cullybackey Elim Church will take place on Saturday, 20th October 2018 at 7:30pm.

Cullybackey Elim will be hosting this evening to remember the 40th anniversary of the Vumba massacre in which missionaries, including Cullybackey’s own Roy Lynn, laid down their lives on the mission field. The evening will include worship from Elim Sound and a drama called ‘A Call To Mission’ performed by the Elim Missions team.

‘Remembering the Elim Missionaries who surrendered all, inspiring our movement with a future of Global Mission.’

“In collaboration with Elim Sound and Richard Hasnip, Elim Missions present ‘A Call to Mission’; a call to action through an evening of worship, preaching and drama, to see the Church surrender to our Saviour’s call to ‘go to all the world.”
