Prayer

Here at Ascension we take seriously our call as disciples of Christ to share his good news with those living in our parish, but it can not stop there. We believe that Christ's commandment to his followers to make disciples of all nations remains a mandate to his church in the 21st Century. We are therefore committed to playing our part in his worldwide mission.

We belive that mission is:

• our response to God's love and generosity
• sharing the Good News through;
  • words and relationships
  • practical help given to the poor and vulnerable
• playing our part in God's bigger plan
• working together with others locally and globally, for his glory.

Our commitment to mission is expressed by our giving 13% of our income to our 8 mission partners, whom we also support through prayer and, where possible, active participation.

Our mission partners are:
The Maseno project - a partnership with churches in western Kenya creating community transformation through farmers' field schools, leadership development, and the ministry of the Spirit.
Kerygma, working with teenages in Bangalore.
African Pastors' Fellowship providing practical resources and support to African pastors.
Medair provide medical care to pregnant women in Afghanistan.
Mission Without Borders care for orphaned and abandoned children in Moldova.
Catherine and Martin Hickey serve God in Kathmandu.
The Nehemiah Project work locally with men in prison.

We also support Short Term Mission trips. Pleases take a look at the Mission Board in church, or talk to Tom Baker for more information.
