We support a number of people involved in mission across the world, which includes financial giving, sharing updates, and upholding them in prayer. Speak to one of the elders if you would like to know more about any of our mission partners. Some of our mission partners have WhatsApp or email lists you can be added to.

 

  • Paul Chatfield

    Turin, Italy

    Paul is the pastor of The International Church of Torino and he has a heart for outreach at the university; in particular, giving lectures to students on matters of the heart.

    He says:

    “Europe is now the continent with the fewest percentage of evangelical Christians, and it is increasingly harder to be taken seriously if you profess Christ. The universities, once founded to know God and his plan for the world, are now amongst the most secular institutions in Western Europe. It is my passion to interact with this culture of disbelief, specifically here in Italy.”

  • M & S

    Eurasia

    M & S are based in Eurasia, and we have purposefully not shared their names online due to the sensitive nature of the country and their work.

    They say:

    “Through ‘vision trips’, incredible gospel opportunities, answers to prayer, and personal relationships, God has moved us to want to serve him here. We long to see lives once shattered and displaced by trauma restored through the true hope of Christ our suffering redeemer, and his promised new creation.”

    India/Reading

    Alison is a GP working in Reading, who helps co-ordinate the medical outreach of OM India through clinics across India and nursing training in Hyderabad.

  • Will & Doreta Niven

    Fier, Albania

    Will & Doreta work for the Illyrian Gospel Trust in Albania and have three children, Ester, Lidia and Samuel. We sent a team of our members to help them with youth work and outreach in the summer of 2019. See the team’s Facebook page for photos and videos from that trip.

  • Malcolm & Juls Clegg

    Eastern Europe

    Malcolm and Juls have been involved in mission and ministry in eastern Europe with The Navigators for over 35 years.

    Malcolm coordinates Central Eurasian Partners (CEP), a network of indigenous mission-oriented ministries. Malcolm and Juls are also involved in discipleship and counselling, and they travel widely around the region from Kazakhstan and Ukraine in the east, to Bulgaria in the south.

  • Torch

    Reading, UK

    Torch is run by volunteers from local churches (including a few from ChristChurch Tilehurst!) to provide a helping hand to those who otherwise cannot get help and tend to fall through the gaps of existing support or provision.
