Where does your money go?

Below is a list of work we’re supporting as a church family through the World Mission Fund, 2024-25. It’s a joyful privilege to help reach the unreached, lend a hand to brothers and sisters facing persecution, bolster local initiatives caring for people in dire need and more.

‘They kidnapped my husband three times. They made him sell each time one of our properties. They took the apartment and our car. Finally, they told my husband, “If you don’t convert to Islam, we will take away one of the children.” When the children started school, their education definitely made a difference. It made a difference to me psychologically and emotionally. God blessed me in regards to the children’s schooling. How merciful God is to us. He blessed us indeed.’
