Missionary Work

It is not just about giving money - we believe that prayer and the exchange of information should be vital parts of our involvement and support our missions overseas.

St Andrew’s Church, supports overseas charity Mercy Ships.

“Act Justly, Love Mercy” – Micah 6:8

2 out of 3 people don’t have access to surgery. Many suffer needlessly from treatable conditions, such as life-threatening facial tumours, blindness and burns.

Mercy Ships follows the 2000-year-old model of Jesus, bringing hope and healing to the poor. They operate the world’s largest charity hospital ship, bringing free medical care to West Africa.

The surgery is made possible by a diverse crew of volunteers. Mercy Ships also train local surgeons and renovate operating theatres.

The surgery crisis is a tragedy the Church can change. Together we can eradicate the diseases of poverty.

We support a Christian minister in Bihar. This is one of India's most populated, lawless and hostile states. Samuel has two small but growing congregations and works with a lay evangelist. It has been called "The Missionary's Graveyard" In the last five years he has had to cope with floods, vilification from other faiths and the abduction of his wife and youngest daughter-mercifully now recovered.      [email protected]
