Roger was invited by the powers that be to speak about his Painswick, CEM project that is under the oversight of West of England Baptist Association. Regional Ministers Nigel Coles and Alistair Longwell enlisted Roger with his new colleague Brian Niblette to plant a "new expressions" of Church to replace the existing Painswick baptist Church, which had recently closed its doors for the last time. Roger was given the opportunity to speak at Brunswick Baptist Church, Gloucester for the purpose of explaining the recent ministry developments CEM had created which WEBA had become aware. This resulted in Roger being invited to represent them in the Painswick area by working to plant a Church Community Group able to face the challenges of modeling different ways of being and doing Church.
Speaking to Church Leaders from across the Midlands, Roger shared in the strategies he has repeatedly adopted in reaching people who had interest in spiritual matters but know interest in attending Church. Rogers door-to-door work, and the process of creating subsequent community groups,caused a great deal of interest from other Evangelists as well as Ministers who were keen to speak with him afterwards.
Roger said, "it was good to see this kind of openness by the local Baptist Churches in wanting to receive news of this kind, to enable their understanding of particular ways they could adopt for their outreach programmes."
