World Mission Area
Tearfund, Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and Release International for Persecuted Christians are All Saints Mission Partners who we support both financially and prayerfully.
Tearfund’s mission is to equip churches around the world today so that the 250 church communities that they currently support are transformed and the people are empowered to reach their God – given potential providing them with the means to adapt their farming methods to provide food and an income for their families in today’s changing climate.
CAP is a U.K. Christian charity providing financial help to those who are struggling with debt and have sort advice to become solvent. Many often find faith through the support and guidance that they have received.
Release International for Persecuted Christians ministry is active in more than 25 countries around the world working through local Christian partners to provide spiritual resources and practical support to victims of persecution. This includes prayerfully, pastorally and practically helping the families of Christian martyrs, prisoners of faith and their families.

Gas & Electricity – new fixed contract for church and hall
We have been insulated from large rises over the last 2 years but our fixed contract finishes on 19th December. As a PCC we have agreed a new fixed contract for our gas & electricity. The additional total cost per year will £7552 more than we are currently paying. This is a significant increase and we do not want this to have a negative impact on the current ministry of All Saints Childwall.
All members of the PCC that met on Monday night agreed that they would give an additional amount of £50. If 150 individuals or families joined us in this initiative, we would cover the cost of the new contract. Please prayerfully consider if you can join us and give an additional amount by the end of January 2024. Any amount towards the increased cost of our energy
bill will obviously be very welcome. If you are a tax payer we are able to claim the tax back which will increase the value of your gift.
Thank you very much for the 23 gifts of £50 that we have received so far.
Thank you – PCC of All Saints Childwall
