MISSION PARTNERS
Through the mission tithe, we support our partners working all across the world - and sometimes locally too - to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Charis Ministries
Charis has been working in Mozambique since 2007 through the work of missionaries Mandy Hunter and Mel Welch who partner with Aglow Mozambique in the setting up satellite aglow groups in the rural areas of Vilanculos, which demonstrate the practical love of God by providing homes for the homeless, food, medicines and on-going support for those who are suffering. Mandy and Mel provide community health and bible training for village health and pastoral workers.
