Far Out

As a church we want to share God’s love far beyond Alsager. We therefore support a mix of partner organisations working locally and around the world to bring relief from poverty - spiritual and physical. Whilst many organisations are supported by individual church members, we have chosen those below to pray for and give money to as a whole church.

Tearfund

What drives Tearfund is a belief that the local church is a powerful force for transformation in communities living in every kind of poverty. Inspired by the example and teaching of Jesus, they recognize that people have deeply interconnected material and spiritual needs, and they seek to meet those needs by working through local church partners. Churches are at the heart of their communities – full of dedicated, resourceful people who want to make a long-term difference.
Tearfund works particularly in Africa, Asia and South America.

Through Tearfund, Christ Church are linked to the Warmis Project in the Cajamarca area of northern Peru. A group of us visited the project in 2014 to see the fantastic work that is being done there to tackle the long-term problems causing poverty. This includes training local farmers in techniques to combat the effects of climate change and helping families find new extra sources of income. Find out more about Tearfund and Warmis here

IcFEM

Interchristian Fellowships' Evangelical Mission (IcFEM) is an indigenous Kenyan organisation based in Kimilili, Western Kenya with a mission of smooth integration of community development, evangelism and innovative provision of holistic care.
