Mission
The Church supports missionary work both at home and overseas:
Dr Francesca Elloway has been based in Aru, in the north eastern tip of the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1993, where she supervises a network of rural health centres. She also has a growing teaching programme in nursing schools in the region.
Kyle and Jane McFarlane have been living in Dar Es Salaam with their family since 1998. Kyle is involved in setting up Alliance Ministries, and training and discipleship ministry focused on teaching Bible in Secondary Schools. He’s assisted by Jane who also coaches English as a Second language.
The Bath and Wells Diocese has been linked with the Anglican Church in Zambia for nearly 25 years. The Shepton Mallet Benefice’s own link is with Chipili in Zambia’s Northern Province and its church building is the Cathedral of Luapula diocese. Our Church supports the people of Chipili with prayer, and over the past twenty years, ministers and lay members of all three Churches have visited Zambia and provided valued support and feedback on the various projects undertaken by the local people.
