"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19)
As part of our calling to advance the church of God throughout the world, we support the following missionary organisations:

Maureen (Mo) Sharratt is one of our church members.  In 2004 Mo went to work in Brazil, as a missionary with UFM Worldwide   She is a team member of ARCA, a Christian project formed in 1996, based in Belém, which provides Assistance and Recuperation for Children and Adolescents.

Staffed mainly by Brazilians, most of whom are missionaries or volunteers, ARCA’s aim is to share the love of Jesus with children at risk in their family situations and the many children and young people who live on the streets of Belém.  It seeks to offer social and educational care and reintegration to these vulnerable youngsters, who are exposed to many risks and abuse as they try to survive on the streets. 

Mo’s main role with ARCA is that of treasurer, but she spends time with children and young people on the streets, in ARCA’s residential home and in ARCA’s day centre.

Community Action Romania   CAR is a local charity that supports a church in Carand, Romania, which reaches out to the community not only spiritually but practically. In 2006 Sarah, daughter of church members Roger & Lynn Edwards, married Danny Ispas, son of the Romanian pastor in Carand, and they have moved to Romania to establish a work amongst the youth of the town.

We also support church members John Shortt, working with EurECA, the European Educators Christian Association, helping Christians in teaching to think about how they can witness within their educational systems, and Tom Conquest, working for the Christian People's Alliance as a political assistant to the Local Councillors in the borough of Newham, East London. Tom also worships at Bonny Downs Baptist Church where he is a member of the youth team.
Twinning Relationship  Hockliffe Street Baptist Church is twinned with Haifa Baptist Church in northern Israel. This mainly Arab congregation is led by Revd. Philip Saa'd, a leading evangelical among Palestinians as well as Israeli Arabs. Philip regularly visits Britain to represent and speak out for this ancient Christian and Arab community. Baptist Missionary Society  Starting from July 2003 we have been linked with Ian and Andrea Froment who, together with their two young children James and Carolyn, work in Malaga, Spain, producing Christian radio and TV programmes for transmission to North Africa.
Tearfund is an evangelical Christian relief and development charity working through partner organisations in countries throughout the world to bring help and hope to those in need. We support Tearfund through Geoff and Rachel Conquest, who are their local representatives. The church also gets involved in fundraising for general relief work, and in response to specific disasters. 

Universities & Colleges Christian Fellowship  UCCF is an organisation set up to support Christian students in Universities and Colleges of Further Education. As a church, we support Naomi Skull, one of the UCCF staff members with responsibility for student work in the East Central region of England. She is based in North London, and works in the universities and colleges in Hatfield, Bedford, Luton, Cranfield and Silsoe.

Mission Aviation Fellowship  MAF's main aim is to help mission agencies in the practical, day-to-day work of moving people and supplies, with the ultimate aim of bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to the unreached
