MISSION PARTNERS
Here at Hope, we believe the good news of Jesus is for everyone across the world. This is why we love to support individuals, families and organisations called by God to serve him in the UK and abroad.
Graham and Debbie Frith
El Alfarero Project, Bolivia
Graham and Debbie Frith have been in Bolivia since 1995. They are the passionate about working with University students and leaders to help them understand their true identity and answer the question “Who is God”?
They oversee the two ministries that they founded called El Alfarero in the cities of Sucre and Santa Cruz which support university students through a cafe, free counselling, a library and training (see www.alfarero.org). They also lead the Alfarero International office which runs a Masters Programme, has a consulting company, an editorial office and is soon to open a Mission Training School for Latins who are called into overseas mission.
Maggie Gill
St Stephen’s Society, Hong Kong
St Stephen’s Society (SSS) is based in Hong Kong, and has grown out of Jackie Pullinger’s work there with drug addicts, Triad gangsters and prostitutes.
The work has expanded to a number of places in Asia, including India, China, Philippines and Vietnam, and though it may look a little different in each country, the goals are always about helping the poor, the oppressed, and the most broken members of society. In one place it may involve taking in addicts or trafficked girls; in another it may be about caring for broken teenagers. It will always of course be about seeing people become whole through discovering the good news of God`s love in Jesus.
Maggie Gill is still involved in travelling to mentor teams for SSS, and there can be opportunities for teams or individuals from Hope to serve short term, particularly in Hong Kong.
