Partnering with others in mission is important to us. Below are some of the organisations we have close connections with.
Organisations
Great Lakes Outreach
GLO’s vision is to see Burundi transformed in Jesus’ name. GLO works with visionary local leaders to transform Burundi through education, sport, business, healthcare and more, bringing hope to thousands of the most vulnerable. We identify, equip and empower the best local leaders of passion, integrity, gifting and vision for the transformation of the nation.
BMS World Mission
BMS works among some of the most marginalised and least evangelised people, as well as those forced to flee home, in some of the most fragile places on earth. The highest goal of all we do is to bring people to faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and an experience of the abundant life that only he can provide.
Feeding Futures
Feeding Futures works in partnership with school communities in rural Kenya. School meals are provided for all the primary school children. Parents and others in the community participate in observation and hands on learning about effective farming methods that are climate sensitive. This helps people to understand that change is possible. They can practice the techniques that are known to increase crop production and be empowered to improve their livelihood.
After working in Ngwataniro from 2010, Mukinyai from 2017, the current active partnership is with schools in the Subukia location.
Vanessa Bennett one of our church members is co-founder and Trustee and Colin Clark is a Trustee and Treasurer.
