Mission Support
Our Mission Project for 2026 is:
Release International is a UK-based Christian ministry which prayerfully, pastorally and practically supports believers around the world who are persecuted for Christ and the gospel. It was founded in 1968 and is currently active in around 30 countries.
In practice this means:
~ Telling the stories of persecuted Christians through a quarterly magazine, monthly podcasts and visiting churches in the UK and Ireland ;
~ Giving them the tools they need to live for Jesus Christ, eg Bibles and other Christian resources, leadership training, food, clothing, on-going
care for martyrs;
~ Calling Christians into fellowship with them;
~ Learning lessons of Christian discipleship with them and from them;
~ Maintaining Christian stewardship to honour them by encouraging people to support them and serve them as volunteers in a variety of roles.

are seeing many people respond to their broadcasts into parts of the Middle East where churches cannot exist. Their broadcasts then support them spiritually.
Two Christian workers:
Lindsay Hamon has carried a cross through some very hostile places. He loves God with a passion and will share Jesus with anyone, from the captive audience on the London Underground to the person on the checkout in the supermarket. “The ability to share Jesus is 'caught not taught'” (John Pressdee) and lives are changed.
Talitha Korner teaches discipleship at Bible Schools in Africa. She always encourages us, when she comes to visit.
We also support:
Street Pastors who go out into the town on a Friday night, to connect with young people coming out of pubs and clubs.
We have links with Christians against Poverty (CAP) Bromley who provide free debt help and community groups.
Supporting, educating, taking aid, encouraging – 'We can't go, but we can help and support those who can!'
