Mission Partnerships

September - Focus on Uganda

Flag of Uganda

A Beautiful and Fertile Country in East Africa

A history of terror, tribal warfare and corruption under former regimes has left a legacy of poverty. AIDS ravaged the country but the government and churches have worked hard to reduce its impact.

There is now freedom of religion and Christianity is the majority belief. The Christian church has experienced revival and is growing.

Please pray

For Christian leaders who can wisely and courageously deal with polygamy within the church and witchcraft throughout the land
For those still suffering because of the AIDS disaster
For those living in poverty and for the ministries to bring them relief and self-help projects

Ampthill Baptist Church is featuring the relief and development work of Operation Agri in Uganda in its Harvest Thanksgiving Service on 21^st September. All donations in the Gift Envelopes will be sent to help people in Uganda to help themselves to develop and improve their skills and livelihoods

More about Mission Partnerships at Ampthill Baptist Church

We consider it an important part of our ministry at ABC to commit to mission partnerships a significant part of our prayer and concern, financial budget and practical support.

Why Mission?

The last great command that Jesus gave to his followers was that they should go to all peoples everywhere, making them his disciples, and teaching them to obey his commandments.

We believe that God loves the whole world and wants every person to discover this great love. We also believe that God desires justice, wholeness and wellbeing for each person and community.

The amazing thing is that God has called every Christian believer into partnership with him in bringing his 'Kingdom' of peace and love throughout the world. We do this through our partnerships, prayers, giving, going and sending.

Partnerships

For our global msision to be effective and meaningful, it needs to be focussed. For that reason, we at ABC have decided to concentrate our support, and to work at making real partnerships to which we are committed.

Prayers

We pray for our mission partners individually, in small groups and when we meet together as a church fellowship. Our monthly 'Prayer Pointers' leaflet gives prayer suggestions.

Giving

We aim to allocate 20% of the finance donated to ABC to mission partnerships at home and abroad.

Going

We are all called 'GO'. Some of our ABC family have been called to go to Angola, Benin,
Sri Lanka, Uganda or Albania. All of us have been called to serve our neighbours, friends and family in the Name of Christ.

Sending

We send out mission partners into all the world. That gives us the responsibility of praying, caring, communicating, listening, providing, giving and sharing in their mission task.
