What we give financially

A minimum of 15% of our income goes to support mission and ministry projects in the UK and internationally. Each Christmas we also ask the congregation to consider giving a Christmas gift to support specific projects. Find out more about the people, the projects and the organisations we support below.

Wycliffe Bible Translators 16-9.png

Wycliffe Bible Translators

1 in 5 people alive today are still waiting to get the Bible in their language. Bible translation is one of the most significant parts of world mission today.

Wycliffe’s vision, in partnership with our supporters, is that everyone will have access to God’s word in the language that speaks to them best. The Bible changes lives – and so does the work of translating the Bible.

We have enjoyed a mission partnership with Wycliffe since 2004. Visit the Wycliffe website or speak to Wendy Brown to find out more.

Comfort International

Began as Comfort Rwanda in 1999, five years after the 1994 genocide, with the aim of supporting their Rwandan partners in their endeavour to support the recovery of genocide survivors in Rwanda. The remit of the charity has continued to expand and although this remains the main focus, the charity also addresses wider issues of poverty in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their aim is to encourage individuals and communities to transition from requiring basic care & relief support through to self-sustainability and building a healthy & sustainable community.

OpenDoors - Worldwide

Every day, millions of Christians risk their lives to follow Jesus. In more than 70 countries, Open Doors supports them by supplying Bibles, providing emergency relief and helping persecuted believers stand strong for the long-term. In the UK and Ireland, Open Doors helps the church to pray, give and speak out for those who share our faith but not our freedom.

 

We also have given donations to Alpha Scotland, Evangelical Alliance Scotland and Try Praying.

Teams from St Mungo’s visit our projects regularly.  Our mission teams go for different reasons.  Some go to see and experience what is going on, to learn, to be inspired, to build faith and to encourage people there.  Other teams go to contribute ministry to build up the church or show God’s love in a practical way.

If you are interested in joining a mission team please speak to Wendy Brown.
