What we offer
As the ministry describes it
Education and clean water
Schools, literacy work and clean water access, primarily in Bangladesh.
Medical missions
Medical outreach alongside church planting, the oldest part of the international work.
Women's programmes and orphanages
Empowering women through training and trade, and supporting orphanages.
Disaster relief
Relief after disasters, and establishing congregations in communities that are easily forgotten.
A clinic under construction
Our newest field. We are building a clinic for people with medical needs and for people in addiction recovery.
For churches
Partner churches can adopt a field, fund a specific piece of work, or send a team. Tell us what you have capacity for.
For businesses
Trade skills, equipment and logistics are often more useful than cash. Tell us what you can offer.
We share the Gospel alongside compassionate service, never as a condition for receiving assistance. Everyone is treated with dignity and receives help regardless of their faith, beliefs, or decision to participate in ministry activities.
Other ministries
The rest of the work

Care Ministries
Pastoral counselling for you or someone in your family, available if you want it and never required.
