Mission

Mission beyond St Botolph’s Church - Taking God's word to God's world in word and deed.

As followers of Jesus, in obedience to His commands, St Botolph's Church seeks to support Gospel ministry here and overseas and to supply humanitarian aid through the Mission Partners and Agencies we support. We keep informed by newsletters and regular contact with our Mission partners. We pray for them in our meetings. We give regularly financially and by special collections such as Harvest for the Hungry and the Share Plan. The church Mission Group allocate the funds provided by the PCC from member giving and coordinate prayer and communication. Many individual church members are involved with other agencies such as Breadline (in Moldova with humanitarian aid and mission), Compassion (for child sponsorship), Hope UK (drugs education), Christians against Poverty (Debt management) and others.

Mission Partner SharePlan

Every year individual members contribute towards a love-gift for one of our Mission Partners on rotation. This is given directly to them for their own personal use and can be used any way they wish. We want them to know we care about them as individuals and have not forgotten them. We can give either as a one-off sum or regularly through the year.

SharePlan 2026

Missions Supported

The money allocated for Mission by the PCC is divided into 6 portions. Five portions are used for the Mission Partner or Agencies we have committed to support. We have personal links with an individual working in each area we support. Groups from the church also visit, most recently to Sarajevo in 2025. Our mission partners are also invited to visit St Botolph’s Church. The sixth portion is used for single donations, including requests for support for training in evangelism/preaching/mission from people from our own fellowship.

We give regularly to these Agencies.
