Mission Update:  Steve Packwood stepped down from his role at Operation Mobilisation (OM) at the end of February and therefore our regular financial giving to OM has also come to an end.  Since OM have a global reach, we will consider future support through emergency appeals. 

The possible mission trip in October this year to Eswatini will not go ahead due to team numbers not being viable.  Our attention will turn towards a trip in 2024 and if you are interested in joining this team and expressing a note of interest, please contact wendy.brown@stmungos.org
