A week of prayer dedicated to men's ministry has begun across Britain, as churches continue to see more females and than males come through their doors.
The week of prayer, spanning from 15-21 January, is being organised by the group We Are Men United.
It's ahead of an event at Stoke City Football Club on 27 May 2017, aimed at providing men with opportunities to worship, pray, receive teaching and bring non-Christian friends to hear about God.
Former boxer Nigel Benn, former professional footballer Linvoy Primus, US evangelist Andrew Palau and Martin Smith, formerly of the Christian rock band Delirious?, will be attending the Stoke City event.
Tearfund found in 2013 that almost two-thirds (65 per cent) of regular churchgoers in the UK are women.
Conversely, the same study found that men outnumber women by 54 per cent to 46 across the other main faiths within the UK.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
