02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our charity exists to advance the Christian faith by proclaiming the Gospel, strengthening believers, and equipping individuals and communities for effective Christian witness. We do this through teaching and training programmes, evangelism initiatives, and the provision of resources that support understanding and practice of the Christian faith. We work both directly and in partnership with local churches and organisations, delivering training events, supporting outreach activities, and providing practical assistance where appropriate. In some contexts, this includes humanitarian support alongside Gospel ministry, particularly among vulnerable or underserved communities. Through these activities, we aim to see lives transformed, local believers strengthened, and sustainable Christian witness established in a wide range of settings.
