MISSION AVIATION FELLOWSHIP

As a group each church supports the work of MAF who work in many areas in the world where the only realistic access is by air. MAF has many planes which are used to ferry essential equipment, medical supplies, bibles and personnel and they often bring people back who need urgent hospital treatment. 

ACTIONAID CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

Simon Silas Caleb has reached the age of 18 and we are not allowed to continue to sponsor him so we have Fatou who we now sponsor.

Fatou was born in 2013. Through messages and photographs we are learning about Fatou’s life in Niamina West, the community in The Gambia where she lives. Fatou attends a primary school in her own community and is a hard working student.

When welcoming children into our churches for Baptism Service part of the collection goes to support sponsored children. These children have none of the advantages our children have, we are pleased to give ongoing support through Action Aid. We do this on a monthly basis.

THE CHILDRENS SOCIETY

The collection from our annual Christingle Services throughout the Ness Group goes to The Children’s Society.
