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.

This weeks prayer focus:

Cross Mission, India

Moses and Mohan

Please continue to pray for Cross Mission being led by Mohan & Moses in India

Please pray for generally for Christians in India who find themselves caught between two crises: pandemic and persecution. Hindu extremists have said they wish to eradicate Christianity from India yet the world remains largely unaware of the violence and discrimination that Christians are facing.
Mohan & Moses report that the Corona Pandemic has affected their lives and ministry but even in the midst of the virus God has been at work in the network of churches.

Praise God that:

Churches are now able to meet in person but few are attending
He is working in the lives of many church members
All the children at the orphanage have been kept safe
Material and physical support has been given to many families
Vaccines are slowly becoming available

Please pray for:

Families who have lost loved ones to the virus
Churches where pastors have died
New pastors in training
The speeding up of the vaccine programme
Sufficient financial resources for the school and orphanage
The development of a Women’s Empowerment Centre
The FCRA certificate to be issued
That funds being transferred will arrive safely
