Reaching out into the world
All Saints supports both Mission Partners and Christian Agencies. Our Partners are typically individuals or families sent out from our own congregation to serve both in the UK and further afield. Christian agencies are organisations that are widely supported throughout our congregation prayerfully and financially that share our mission to make Jesus known throughout the world. Together we commit to regularly praying for these Partners and Agencies and also corporately provide practical and financial support if needed.
To help keep the church up to date, each Partner and Agency 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.
Here is a list of our current Mission Partners and Agencies:

Crosslinks – Julian & Nicky Milson, Valencia
Julian and Nicky Milson are passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus with Spanish people and training up disciples who can advance the gospel for generations to come. As of March 2018 they have lived and worked in Valencia, as Crosslinks Mission Partners. They have two children, Jemima and Theo.
It is estimated that just 1% of the population in Spain are evangelical Christians. Although 75% of Spaniards identify as Roman Catholic, this may reflect a sense of cultural identity rather than personal faith.
Julian is seconded to the IERE (Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church) as the Rector of the ‘Iglesia de Jesucristo’ which is the only church in Valencia that is part of the Anglican Communion. Nicky is involved in various areas of ministry in the church, is learning Spanish and homeschools Jemima.
Before moving to Spain, the Milson’s lived in Hove where Julian was the vicar at Holy Cross Church for 11 years. Nicky served at Holy Cross in children’s ministry, youth work and music.
Please also visit the Milsons’ Crosslinks page for further information, to sign up to their newsletter and for the opportunity to give towards their work in Valencia: https://www.crosslinks.org/mission-personnel/julian-and-nicky-milson/ or visit their Facebook group for regular updates: https://tinyurl.com/y7wpfuvf

Diocese of South Rwenzori and Kagando Hospital, Uganda
The long-standing links between All Saints and South Rwenzori in S.W. Uganda have been in existence since the mid 1980s when the South Rwenzori Diocese came into being. The diocese centres on the town of Kasese where the Rev. Canon Nason Baluku was consecrated and enthroned at St. Paul’s Cathedral in December 2020, becoming the 3rd Bishop of South Rwenzori.
All Saints’ currently supports the Diocese through prayer and financial giving towards the education of theological students studying for ordination, and the training of part-time students studying to become lay readers. Both clergy and lay-staff will go on to perform pastoral duties in the many parishes within the diocese.
The other focus of our prayer and giving is Kagando Hospital which began as a small mission hospital and has grown into a medical centre and teaching hospital with a strong gospel ministry. The hospital plays a vital role within the Kagando Rural Development Centre (KARUDEC), aiming to proclaim the love of God by serving to improve the physical and spiritual well-being of the poor and disadvantaged people in the district.
A number of people from a range of professional backgrounds have contributed their expertise to establish and maintain the growth and development which has occurred. Among them have been many from All Saints’; most recently Peter and Heather Candy who for two years managed different projects within and around the hospital. Currently Anna Kingdom is the treasurer for the charity, Friend of Kagando.

UCCF – Anika Huibers
Anika is working with Sussex and Brighton Christian Unions as a Staff Worker to equip and encourage the students to share their faith with their friends and peers at university. She loves the work that God has called her to do and is always excited to see what he will do next.
During Anika’s time at the University of Sussex studying a BSc Zoology degree, she joined the CU as an atheist. Through the CU, she learned more about Jesus, got plugged into a church, and eventually came to saving faith in the Lord. Since then, she has completed a year-long discipleship and training programme with UCCF called ‘Relay’, where her passion for mission on university campuses grew. Anika sees that there is an immense value in sharing the gospel to this age group, since individuals are most open and receptive to the gospel at this stage of life and can go on to bring the gospel into their future workplaces.

YWAM – Lucy
I have been serving with Youth With A Mission since 2001 - committed to young missionaries and to seeing the nations transformed by the love of Jesus.
Since that time I have travelled all around the world with God showing me so much of His character and how much he wants me to see. I believe that God wants to restore us all to how He originally designed us – redeemed by Jesus. Throughout my time in YWAM I have had a wide range of experiences – teaching teenagers in the Cape Flats of South Africa, leading a delegation to the UN AIDS meetings in New York, leading & training missionary trainees, enabling outreach during the 2012 Olympics, exhibiting pieces of art in Brighton and counselling young women due to unplanned pregnancy or a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS.
In October 2018 after 5 years of prayer & exploration, I moved to Thanet, Kent to begin pioneering a new YWAM community under the umbrella of YWAM Holmsted Ministries. My ministry areas are mercy; art & creativity; government & justice; spirituality and discipleship.
Due to the sensitive nature of some of my work, and to honour and respect those I connect with I’d rather share stories over a cuppa – please connect with my rope-holders or follow YWAM in Thanet on Facebook or Instagram. If you’d like to support my ministry please follow this link.
