Our support is given to a number of organisations.

These include:-

 

The Todd family

We have undertaken as a Church to support our Church Members Keith, Pam, Siobhan, Daniel and Jessica Todd whilst they are pursuing their mission in Australia. They have been granted permanent residency and have now purchased a house where they intend to host families which are in need of healing. Fortunately, by the grace of God, they escaped the devastating fires in Canberra. Keith is now doing some work with YWAM especially "Ozhelp" www.ozhelp.org.au  We support them individually by additional giving,  in prayers and by writing to them.

Christian Aid (We believe in life before death)

Hardly a month goes by without a disaster (either man made or natural) occurring in some part of the world, usually affecting the poorest areas the most. In almost every case, Christian Aid is there to organise and bring relief. Although we respond to appeals, they also require money for awareness campaigns and planned aid and long term programmes such as their work in the Sudan, training people to grow their own food. One of their major campaigns at the moment is that for the relief of third world debt.

 

Wycliffe

Wycliffe Bible Translators was founded in 1942 by William Townsend. A missionary to the Cakchiquel Indians of Guatemala, Townsend had caught the vision for translation when a Cakchiquel man challenged him: "If your God is so great, why doesn't He speak in my language?" Townsend resolved that every man, woman and child should be able to read God's Word in their own language. Of the 6,809 known languages in the world, nearly 2/3 do not have a translated verse of Scripture. That's over 300 million people who have never had the opportunity to hear God speak to them in their language. Believing that people are best reached through language of hearth and home and believing that the Bible brings people to life through Christ, Wycliffe seeks to fulfil the Great Commission through Bible translation. Wycliffe Bible Translators work to translate Scripture and train field personnel in literacy teaching. Over 500 translations have been completed. We are linked to the Jarrett family who have been working in Niger. Church members  read their newsletters and prayer requests, respond and correspond with them.
