Mission Partners

St Matthew’s has the following mission partners that we support prayerfully and financially.

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18 - 20

John and Gillian Robinson

John and Gillian Robinson set up the Place of Grace in 2011 in the middle of Bangkok’s disadvantaged communities, and are funded through Crosslinks (Bible Churchmen’s Missionary Trust Ltd). They run children’s and teenager’s clubs throughout the week, providing a safe place for children to play, alongside learning about the God who loves them. They also run a foodbank, where they pray for the people who visit, and tell them about God.

CPAS

Sisters of the Church

The Sisters, based in St Paul’s, Bristol, serve those in need in the local community in many ways; this includes working with single parent families, the elderly, the homeless, people living with addictions, refugees and asylum seekers, others struggling with poverty, prisoners, with One25 (working with women involved in prostitution) and at the Create Centre where life skills are taught.

Friends of Alalay (Santa Cruz)

Friends of Alalay is a UK-registered charity which directly supports the local Alalay Foundation that helps Bolivian street kids to help themselves.

Thousands of homeless children, many aged as little as three years, sleep on the streets or in the drains of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. They have to steal or beg for their food in order to survive.  Alalay provide educational and skills development and help to encourage good health by meeting the needs of ex-street children.  The charity works to identify, establish and monitor practical production projects which will become self-financing and teach new skills to the children.

Mosaic Middle East

We support the work being done in the Middle East by Mosaic (formerly FRRME—Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East), in particular the mission of St George’s Church, Baghdad, and their ordained Anglican minister, the Reverend Faiz Jerjes.

We provide financial and spiritual support for their aims to win to Christ those who are opposed to the Gospel, and to speak as God’s advocates for his persecuted Iraqi church.
