IMAGINE HEAVEN MISSION

We are living in a unique season of challenge that is also brimming with fresh possibilities. Because of Covid, death is being counted every day on our screens. Our mortality is more prominent and online searches for future certainty have increased. It is a perfect time to engage in discussion about life, death, and the future with some fascinating insights into the possibilities of what lies beyond this life. 

John Burke has been exploring the research about people’s near-death experiences for many years, and wrote the book Imagine Heaven explaining the findings. Since then, he has created many resources to share these insights and how they corelate to how heaven is described in the Bible. It is such a timely resource to invite people into a dialogue about what may lie ahead for each of us, and how the choices that we make in this life determine where we spend eternity.

New Wine Cymru invites you to join the Imagine Heaven Mission across Wales. 

This is how it works!

THE COURSE.

The Imagine Heaven Mission is a 6-part video course. The content is designed to provoke discussion and exploration around life after death, and how Jesus wants a relationship with every person.

HOW TO RUN IT

The course is so flexible, that it can be used in person or online, in 6 weeks or any number of weeks you choose. It can be run as a group, as a church, or by individuals. The group watch the 10min video then discuss together the questions it provokes.

HOW TO JOIN IN

You can register here to be a part of the mission. 

Registration is £40 per church /organisation. Once registered you will receive a password to LOG IN to the Imagine Heaven website Resources section. This contains all that you need to run a mission and extra resources to go deeper as a church.

IMAGINE HEAVEN WEBSITE

The Imagine Heaven website has 2 parts. An open public section, and a private Log In section.

John Burke ran a “What’s after Life?” mission with churches in his hometown of Austin, Texas (ATX), and has kindly allowed us to use his materials.

2) PUBLIC. The home page is instantly accessible to anyone who is searching for answers online, has been invited to a mission, or who has been reached by our Imagine Heaven Johns Gospel invites. They can watch videos and stories.

The search feature helps a guest locate a course running at a registered church near them. Or they can join in a registered zoom course from any location.

INVITATIONAL TOOLS

We have two great booklets key to your running of the mission, available in Resources once you Log In. (While stocks last; when they’re gone, they’re gone!)
