GC Aid

Global Connections in Mission has for some time considered the need to set up a separate trust in order to better assist the humanitarian aspects of our Christian Brethren mission partners work. For more than 100 years, large amounts of money has gone into building orphanages, schools, hospitals and providing relief for those caught in a disaster.  We have now applied, through the Charities Commission, to the Inland Revenue Department for tax deductible status as listed under criteria and are currently still under the process for this to happen.

Ways you can be involved with are listed below.
