Fragile churches and needy communities are desperate for skilled, Christ-centred, leadership. Please help.

You know how essential good leadership is for the church. Like all of us, you will have seen its benefit – and felt the pain when it is missing.
And, of course, such leadership is even more vital in those places where the church of Christ is fragile, under pressure or experiencing remarkable growth.
Some of our mission partners are working to raise up leaders for the church in some of the world’s toughest and most needy places. But this is only possible if supporters like you help us to meet their modest living costs.
On average, it costs only about £40 a day to meet the living costs of our mission partners.
In Nepal, faith in Christ was all but outlawed for generations. But the church has grown in 40 years from 30,000 believers to over 700,000.

In northern Argentina, the remote Wichi-speaking communities of the Gran Chaco have 125 indigenous churches – all poor, marginalised and under pressure. And with no college to equip their leaders theologically or practically.
And then there are the churches in Nairobi’s infamous slums that require leaders who will equip them to live out the gospel in ways that bring transformation.
In all these challenging places – and many more – our mission partners are at work to create the leaders these churches must have.
But it takes the financial support of people like you to keep them there.
