Activities & Mission
We are a mission-focused community of people transforming lives and neighbourhoods through the work of evangelists, staff and volunteers. We are committed to sharing the Christian faith through words and action in a variety of contexts across the British Isles and Ireland. Our evangelists and staff work beyond church buildings among some of the most broken, rejected and hurting people in society.
