227 years. One mission. Thousands of faces.
This is CMS. People who have said yes to the edges.
Thank you for being part of the story.

Two marathons. Two days. One mission.
This May bank holiday, Dave Rollett and friends are walking a beautiful stretch of the North Devon coastal path.
As they walk, they'll be thinking of "walking" with the communities of Zanzibar – where Dave and Tricia will soon serve as CMS mission partners.
They're raising funds for a vehicle. The first £3,750 is match‑funded.
👟 Join them in North Devon
💙 Sponsor their trek
🙏 Pray for the journey

“I was a witch doctor. I sacrificed my life and the health of my family members to the ancestral gods.” These are the words of a young man in a village in DR Congo, whose life was changed when he heard the gospel.
“I was listening to him telling me, ‘Come to me, come to me’. I quickly came to meet Jesus. Glory to God through Jesus Christ! Now, I am a Christian, saved and ready to serve him.”
This is what happens when the church shows up at the edges. When someone shares the good news. When Jesus breaks through.

In CMS's email series for #Lent - #FringeDweller - today's reflection sees a woman at the edges persuades Jesus that outsiders belong at God's table. Good news indeed.
I have courage to believe there is a place at the table for me.

St. Patrick wasn't just a saint. He was a pioneer.
Kidnapped → Slave → Escaped → Returned to his captors to share Jesus.
That's what it means to follow Jesus to the edges.
