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.

Simon and Becky Lunt

This weeks prayer focus:
Simon and Becky Lunt
Dear friends in All Saints, thank you for your prayers, support and encouragement to us as a family. Belated New Year greetings!
Simon
-
Following on from 9 baptisms of Iranians at Oasis church in October, give thanks for a new Iranian family attending as well as several new singles. Ask the Lord to speak to them at Sunday services and mid-week meetings: through his Word and through fellowship with believers.
-
Two Iranians in the church have recently been moved out of London by the Home Office, common practice as part of the asylum process. Thank God that Simon has connected them with new churches, and pray that they too will be drawn close to Jesus through he Word and through fellowship.
-
Pray for Simon as he is called on to preach at their home church during an interregnum between vicars.
Becky
-
Pray for Becky's play therapy placement at a local school, where she is currently working with a 10 year old Ethiopian and a 6 year old Syrian - refugees. "I always pray for Jesus to fill my play space, and I know he is with me as the children are starting to trust me enough to express and work through their difficulties".
-
Pray for her studies, now in group play therapy - with 4 to 6 children.
-
Give thanks for gifts received. She will now be able to take 3 Syrian children on the Capernwray Bible College youth camp in the Easter Holidays.
