## Help equip the church to share Jesus

### Gavin Calver asks for your help

  Though 57% of people in England call themselves Christians, just 9% are what we might call ​“practising Christians”. That’s fewer than 1 in 10 people who know Jesus and live out their faith in their daily lives.

Perhaps more worrying still, 54% of non-Christians who know a Christian have never had a conversation with them about Jesus.

**Simply put, something must be done. So we need your help to equip the UK Church to communicate the gospel clearly, confidently and powerfully to those who don’t know Jesus — and see people come to faith.**

We need your help to provide much-needed services through one website, launching later this year, to equip churches and individuals for mission. Please [watch this video](https://vimeo.com/156012595/2128c661d9 "https://vimeo.com/156012595/2128c661d9 (opens in a new window)") of director of mission Gavin Calver speaking about the project.

**Please [give a gift today](http://www.eauk.org/connect/give/appeals/spring-appeal-2016.cfm#AF) to help reach those who need it most. Your gift can help introduce someone to Jesus.**
