As well as our Tier 1 Mission Partners, they also include such organisations as SMBC, Forever Projects, Compassion, and Opportunity International.
Our World Missions Conference is about considering how you can prayerfully support and financially contribute to our Mission Partners.
There are two ways to give. The first is that you can give to our General Mission Fund, from which donations will be distributed in accordance with the percentages outlined below.
The second option is to allocate your giving to a selected partner. By doing so, you also give permission for our Senior Minister Robin Kinstead and the Wardens to distribute those funds (according to the percentages above) to another Mission Partner(s) if we reach the set goal.

| Friends in Dubai | $25,000 | 22.4% |
