Mission Partners

For more than ten years, the church family at Philippi supported the apostle Paul, in his ministry, sending gifts, and practical help, as well as praying for him as he travelled and planted churches in the service of the gospel.  The warmth of the relationship between him and them shines through every sentence of his letter, thanking them for their most recent kindness towards him.

None of our mission partners is in prison at the moment, and we have not yet sent any members of the church family half way across the world to care for them, but we have been partners in the gospel with some of these dear friends for more than ten years.

The joys and sorrows of the church across the world feature regularly in our Sunday morning intercessions, as well as in our prayer evenings.  We focus on one of our Mission links or some other aspect of the world wide church at most Sunday evening meetings. We run a series of three special Mission Sundays each year at which there is a collection.

Please continue to think about ways that we can encourage one another to become more aware of what God is doing across the world, among his people. We need to keep before us the suffering of Christians around the world, and the Barnabas Fund is an excellent agency that exists to draw attention to what is happening to Christians in Muslim dominated countries around the world.
