Why these three charities?
All three charities are not ashamed to be recognised as Christian charities so their witness in the world can be easily recognised as a Christian witness.
All three charities work throughout the world so they show God's worldwide love for all people and in particular, His care for the most needy wherever or whoever they may be.
All three charities recognise the value of working with and through local churches, demonstrating and celebrating the unity and diversity within the Body of Christ
All three charities have a strong emphasis on prayer - and you are encouraged right now to pray for their worldwide work and witness: Thankyou!
