We believe Jesus is good news for every nation, tribe, people and language and so, as we bring the gospel to Ashton-on-Ribble, we partner with our Mission Partners, other Christians living and speaking for Jesus in different parts of the UK and the world. Our partnership is expressed in three ways:
-
Prayer – we pray regularly in our Services, at our Prayer Meetings, and individually for our Mission Partners and they pray for us.
-
Money – we support our Mission Partners financially so they can focus on evangelism, discipleship, and training locally.
-
Visits – our Mission Partners come and visit us as a church family to encourage and update us face-to-face on life and ministry and we encourage church family to visit them when possible.
