A Passion for Life

A Passion for Life is a UK-based charitable organization with the registered charity number 1125822. It functions as a nationwide movement uniting over 800 evangelical churches across the United Kingdom and Ireland with the mission of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ in their communities.

Mission and Vision

The organization aims to encourage, equip, and empower local churches to engage in personal evangelism and foster a culture of all-year-round outreach. It operates as a rallying platform for churches, promoting collaborative evangelistic efforts through shared prayer, training, and resources. By mobilizing churches regionally and nationally, A Passion for Life seeks to amplify the impact of gospel proclamation and invite people to "Find life in Jesus" through coordinated mission initiatives.

Key Activities

A Passion for Life organizes focused nationwide mission campaigns, known as "months of mission," with the next scheduled for March 2026. These campaigns provide churches with high-quality resources and a common message to reach their communities effectively. Participating churches benefit from collective prayer meetings, evangelism training, and regular communication to foster a sustained commitment to sharing the Christian faith.

The organization also encourages local churches to collaborate with gospel partnerships in their regions to strengthen evangelical outreach efforts.
