Special collection
Karen Ministry: For over twenty years, the Free Church has had an interest in the oppressed Christian community within the displaced Karen people of Burma and Thailand. On a number of occasions over the years, our congregation has supported the work of a Bible School in one of the refugee camps where the Karen people are living.
Two years ago, a project to translate training material from the reformed website ThirdMillennium.org was commenced. The goal is to provide high quality Christian education, which is then delivered via tablets or MP4 players to support Karen preachers in remote rural areas without them having to spend long periods away from their farms and congregations.
Translation work is expensive and it is estimated that to have a full course translated will cost around £11,000. The financial resources available for this ministry has only covered the cost of translating one third of the modules.
Following discussion of an appeal to our Deacons’ Court, it was agreed to hold a Special Collection for this purpose at the close of all services on Sunday 10th June. Collection points will be available at each exit and at the doors leading from upstairs.
