In May 2016 The Gate started a 2 week mission. Before the first day was over it was clear that this was not to be a normal mission, over 80 people had accepted the invitation to pray to Christ on the streets of Reading.
4 weeks in and the number who had prayed on the streets had reached over 1,850 but, more staggering, was the openness of people on the streets to hear about God and to accept prayers. The Turning was born.
Five years on, The Turning has equipped thousands of Christians across all denominations through city and countrywide missions and continues to grow year on year.
THE MISSION
· Every believer equipped to share the Gospel & trained to disciple all that respond ·

The love of God grows in our hearts as we encounter Him during the worship evenings.

We give this love to the people we meet through outreach during the missions.

We see this love grow in their lives as we meet them for coffee during follow up and discipleship.
