Monthly Mission Focus *
Every year, we witness something profoundly moving: the moment someone who has spent years crawling, being carried, or hidden away from society is lifted into a wheelchair for the very first time. That moment is only possible because of you.
Your support is not simply funding a project — you are restoring dignity, opening doors, and rewriting stories. As a small charity, we never take that for granted. Every prayer, gift, and act of generosity from St Giles’ & St George’s makes a real difference. Your support has reached some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Samuel, 33, from Kenya, has been carried by his mother since childhood. Without a suitable wheelchair, she had no other way to help him move. Imagine the weight she has carried — physically and emotionally. We provided Samuel with a wheelchair that brought dignity, relief, and freedom to both mother and son. Samuel is blind, so we were also able to place an audio Bible in his hands. We pray that as Samuel listens, God’s word will reach his spirit in ways beyond words — offering comfort, hope, and truth that he can hold in his heart. This is the impact you make possible.
As our teams prepare to serve in Ghana and Rwanda, we invite you to continue walking with us.
Frances English, from Ashtead Parish, is volunteering as an occupational therapist on the trip to Ghana in May. Do consider sponsoring a wheelchair during Lent (forms are available from Karen Goodridge) and look out for Gunn and John Fenn, who will be speaking at some of the services in March after returning from Kenya.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’” Jesus
— Matthew 25:35-36
