We are thankful to God for the opportunity to partner in gospel ministry around the world, through a number of mission organisations

African Enterprise
African Enterprise (AE) works with local churches to proclaim the gospel to the residents of the major cities of Africa. Under the leadership of Stephen Mbogo evangelism is carried out by Africans themselves, who already understand their local cultures and speak their fellow citizens’ languages. AE has Teams of African nationals living and working in ten countries. In addition, AE minister each year to many other African countries via evangelistic missions, reconciliation work and leadership training courses. St Mark’s parishioner Mike Woodall was involved in the leadership of AE for many years. In recent years St Mark’s has raised funds to support major evangelistic missions in the cities of Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Monrovia (Liberia) and Bahir Dar (Ethiopia) and in Ghana.

South India
Some of the information below is limited to protect the pastor and the members of this church from persecution – more information is posted on our mission wall at our church
Pastor E began ministry in the rural villages of South India in the 1990’s. At that time there were no Christians in the region. His Church grew rapidly. House Churches have been established in about 800 villages. Most of these churches are small, however, some villages have large congregations. About 15,000 believers attend these house churches today. The church ministers mostly to low caste people, widows and orphans, but is beginning to reach high caste people also. There are now around 500 pastors associated with this Church. The pastors are literate in their native language, but most have received little education. Each of the pastors is responsible for a group of 4-5 villages, some of which will have house churches in them.
Santisuk English School -Thailand
Thailand is a country where around 95% of the population identify as Buddhist and less than 0.5% as Christian. This makes it one of the most unreached nations in the world. American Pastor Steven Cable and his Thai wife Nopaluck began their Santisuk English School ministry in Bangkok, Thailand in 1993. Their vision was to establish a school that would be both an effective evangelistic tool and a high-quality conversational English educational centre. Today their school operates from five different locations and offers classes to over 300 students each month. Their team has developed its own teaching materials and Christian curriculum, the first of its kind in Thailand. Short term teachers are an essential and valued part of their ministry. Since 1995 around 600 short term missionaries, aged from 18-86 years, have come to serve as teachers. St Mark’s parishioner Jo Hooworth has travelled to Thailand on four occasions to teach English at SES, and is always keen to take others with her.
