Mission minded
At Sundays@7 we support a number of individuals and mission agencies in the work of spreading the good news of Jesus, mainly by funding and prayer. Find out more below.
Alex Richardson
Alex left Sundays@7 in August 2007 to study Theology and World Mission for three years at Oak Hill Theological College. He hopes this will be a time of preparation before going on to missionary work in Russia. We are supporting Alex throughout his time there.
Tim Silk
Tim was a minister at Sundays@7 for a number of years until 2007. Tim and his family have recently left Arborfield to settle in Ireland, where Tim is working as a missionary with Crosslinks.
Youth For Christ in Burundi
Youth for Christ seeks to transform the youth of Burundi to become leaders of integrity through the principles of discipleship. It is part of the organisation Great Lakes Outreach, which is a charity that works for the spiritual and physical development of the people of Burundi.
