World Mission

St Andrew’s support mission in Oxford and around the world to see lives transformed by Jesus.

 

Our Mission Partners

Each week we share the latest updates and prayers from one of our missionaries – pray with us.

 

How you can support missions

You can encourage and support our Mission Partners in many ways, including:

  • Giving financially to their work, especially during the church’s annual World Mission Week. During the rest of the year, money is allocated to mission from our general fund.

  • Praying for them and their ministries. You can ask to receive regular updates by email or post.

  • Caring and connecting with them by calling them, sending them a link to a sermon or even a birthday card!

 

Contact

To find out more about missions, please contact wmg@standrewsoxford.org. Most house groups stay connected with a mission partner — ask your group leader for updates.
