Share Jesus International (SJI) is a missionary agency whose goal is to share Jesus in many different contexts and countries.
It is a visionary, radical movement, founded by Methodist minister, Rev Rob Frost, which brings together a diverse range of Christian denominations and mission agencies for corporate action in mission and evangelism.
The Board of Share Jesus International includes leaders from the following agencies: Methodist Church, Scripture Union, Baptist Union of Great Britain, Youth for Christ, Ichthus Christian Fellowship, Church of England Board of Mission, The Salvation Army, Premier Christian Radio, Evangelical Alliance, Churches Together in England, and United Reformed Church.
SJI used to organise the annual Christian event, Easter People. It also arranges weeks of dedicated social mission, and campaigns such as Thirst For Life.
Thirst For Life, a major media campaign of 2006, saw thousands across the UK go without alcohol for the 40 days of lent. Triggered by the media frenzy around binge drinking and the governmental statistics highlighting the negative effects of alcohol on family life, thirst for life was designed as an opportunity to get people thinking.
Rob Frost died in November 2007 but his son Andy has been appointed as the new head of Share Jesus International and the organisation is now responsible for organising an annual "Pentecost Festival" in London each May.
Famous quotes containing the words share and/or jesus:
“The toddler’s wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The child’s love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parent’s most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of the Spirit, washed in Christ’s blood.”
—Fanny J. Crosby (1820–1915)
