Worldwide Mission
HTC believe God’s mission extends to the whole world, and is largely to be carried forward through His followers. Right from His earliest covenant with Abraham, He promised, ‘I will make you into a great nation …. and all people on earth will be blessed through you’ (Genesis 12v2-3). This is part of following Jesus’ teaching:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you - Matt 28v19-20.
I was hungry and you gave me food
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me - Matt 25v35-36.
Blessed are the peacemakers
for they will be called children of God - Matt 5v9.
At Holy Trinity we seek to be part of God’s worldwide mission by supporting around twelve mission agencies, through prayer, regular information updates, and financial partnership. Some of our church members are personally involved in these missions. Holy Trinity gives away 10% of its voluntary giving income to outside charities and mission agencies, which may be local, national or international.
HTC Mission Focus for January 2025

John and Rachel are CMS Mission Partners working on Bible translation and discipleship in the Middle East since the 1980s, currently serving in an unstable, war-afflicted area. Rachel was a member of Holy Trinity before going overseas. John is part of an international team involved in the NT translation for one language group, and an OT translation for another! The current instability in the Middle East has resulted in local people becoming more fearful to act as local translators or community checkers. John and Rachel have two grown-up children, one in UK and one serving in the Far East. We pray regularly for them, and they do visit us when they are back in UK, every couple of years.
For more information, their latest prayer letter is pinned to the noticeboard at the back of church.
