Rochdale Centre Of Mission
Rochdale
Rochdale Centre of Mission started in early 2021 and is based on the Belfield & Cray and Firgrove estates. The priorities are to share the Good News of Jesus with those on the estates who have no connection to the church. We hope to grow a new worshipping community (or communities) in the area and to guide and encourage the local churches in their mission and evangelism. We are working to be part of a Learning Network of Pioneer Ministers in the area, supporting and encouraging one another in their work.
Evangelist Bing Liu is working together to facilitate and restore the transformative love of God in the local area. Through organised activities for families and children in the local area, Bing is making connections and creating relationships with the local communities.

“The very first thing I felt is a huge amount of compassion for the kids running around on the street, being exposed to all kinds of things, wrong things.
My heart is with them. I want to see them being loved by Jesus and how Jesus’ love can bring hope and transformation. And when they are hurting, especially the kids and young people, they are so vulnerable, I feel God’s heart is broken.
One kid, I’ll call him Charles*, came to our football club with such strong anger issues, you could tell from his face, that he was always unhappy. I was told that he kept getting into trouble at school for aggressive behaviour like kicking the doors and fighting with others.
On a tournament day at football camp, he got into a fight with someone from the other team. As we were trying to get him cool down and shake hands, he walked off swearing with F-words all over the place, but his team members called him back. So, with a very twisted face, he forced himself to reach out and shake hands with the person.
When it came to giving out trophies, I gave the one for best team player to Charles. But he was sat down 30 yards away, facing the other way. I shouted out his name and with surprise he stood up and came to me, and on the way his team members cheered him on.
I THINK THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A LOT OF NEGATIVE STUFF SPOKEN OVER HIM, AND I WANTED TO BREAK THAT.
I felt I needed to speak into his life, so I looked him in the eye and said, “Charles, today marked the day that you have chosen the better way; you have overcome yourself, the urge to fight back, for your team’s sake. In the future you are going to meet challenges but remember that you can always choose a better way and you will be a success in life.”
Charles has gone from being angry to being calm, I know God has left something in his life.”
