New Base: The UK
To recruit, release, and support urban missionaries who share the gospel — not just with words, but through everyday acts of love and service, through mission bases & church planting — bringing hope and healing in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Why thE UK
Back in 2016, we heard the Lord speak clearly: “Launch a mission base in the UK.” So, in faith and obedience, we planted our first base in Tower Hamlets, London — right in the heart of one of the most diverse communities in the world.
Then Covid hit. Like so many others, we had to pause and wait. But even in the stillness, we kept seeking God, asking, “What’s next for Every Life in the UK?”
After much prayer and discernment, we sensed God stirring us again — and this year, we’ve joyfully taken that next step forward. We’re thrilled to have Ben Woodfield join us full-time, bringing a wealth of experience in pioneering urban mission and a deep passion for reaching people where they are.
The Vision:
Our vision for the UK is simple yet bold:
To recruit, release, and support urban missionaries who share the gospel — not just with words, but through everyday acts of love and service, through mission bases & church planting — bringing hope and healing in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We’re beginning with two communities close to our hearts:
-
Bolton
Led by Ben and Amy Woodfield and their family, New Life Church in Breightmet, Bolton are establishing a mission base in their local community.
-
Aylesbury
In the community of Meadowcroft, Emma is pioneering an expression of urban mission — living among and serving her neighbours with compassion, courage, and the good news of Jesus.
And this is just the beginning.
As we move forward, we’re excited to discern new locations, new partnerships, and new ways God is inviting Every Life to be part of His story across the UK.
