Our Mission project for 2012 will be focussing on local mission, here in Thanet. We have been able, over the past two years to support two wonderful schemes – on win Uganda, and in Nepal.
Mission begins at home, and we must not think we have done our bit just by sending money to Africa and Asia
There are two Schemes at the heart of 2012 mission focus.
1) Fegans – a local Christian Charity which promotes Christian Values in Schools, by providing lunch-time clubs for children, counselling support, help with School assemblies and education for children relating to Christian festivals, such as Christmas and Easter. Fegans and its team of volunteers supporters (include the minister @ MBC) are doing some excellent front line mission work amongst the Children of Thanet.
2) MYP – Margate Youth Project : in which we hope we will enable churches of central margate to set up a youth centre for the young people of the town, aged 11-16. Discussions are already ongoing with a larger organisation – “Redeeming Communities”. This group has set up similar projects in many other parts of the country , including Kent.
Please do all you can to support these projects in 2012.
