Global Mission
Reaching out into the world
A distinctive feature of life at All Saints over many years has been our strong links of support for our mission partners - members of the church who have been called out, sometimes overseas, for special service for God. Their contribution to our church life, and the extra awareness that they bring us of God’s mission field throughout the UK and in every corner of the earth, are invaluable. We will continue to look for ways to support those who are building God’s kingdom beyond the immediate environs of Lindfield and to support any from our fellowship who are sensing God’s call in this direction.
All Saints supports both Mission Projects and Mission Partners. Our Partners are typically individuals or families sent out from our own congregation to serve both in the UK and further afield. Projects are Christian organisations that are widely supported throughout our congregation prayerfully and financially that are deemed to fit with our Mission Action Plan - ‘Reach, Build, Send’ and merit our support. Together we commit to regularly praying for these Partners and Projects and also corporately provide practical and financial support if needed.
To help keep the church up to date, each Partner and Project has a personal link with one or two members of the All Saints congregation who undertake to be the main representatives, co-ordinating support and prayer requests.

Jonny & Olga Anderson Prayer Points
Jonny and Olga Anderson are working with Serving in Mission to share the gospel with the Quechua native people. They were so encouraged after joining our March Prayer meeting and hope to visit us this summer when they are back in England.
Prayer points:
-
Praise for a good end to the term in Bolivia and that Jonny and Olga are now back in the UK on shore leave until September.
-
Jonny had a great experience teaching Paul’s Epistles to oral learners in the mountains - pray for the churches to be firm in their faith in Christ.
-
Praise that they are with their three children (Joel, Joanna and Jonah) and Jonny’s parents in Cornwall for May half term.
-
Praise that Jonny’s Mum’s health has improved and continue to pray for her.
-
Praise that Joel has recovered from his appendix being taken out.
-
Pray that Jonny and Olga would be an encouragement to the church prayer meetings they visit during June. (They will be coming to All Saints on Sept 10th)
Any questions should be directed to Dave or Rebecca Nicholls, whilst there is a monthly Anderson newsletter (sent via email) that people can sign up to receive.
