Our clients' projects are mainly
relief, development, and regeneration
activities.
For closer monitoring purposes, our
overseas workers concentrate on faith-based
projects grown from the spread-out of
about 150 million evangelical, pentecostal,
and charismatic Christian communities
in Africa as well as the relief and
development projects grown from the
spread-out of about 180 million evangelical,
pentecostal, and charismatic Christian
communities in Asia.
These projects have access to about
£120 billion annual donation in
the Christian faith internationally
for development and relief services.
Our British and European resident staff
work for these field projects and also
for non-faith based relief, development
and regeneration projects in the UK,
Europe and other places.

We
target 500 field projects annually
- in the areas of developing effective
markets for products, provision of
clean water, literacy, sanitation,
preventive health care, career fostering,
and educational or cultural exchanges,
microfinance, HIV/AIDS prevention,
street children support, leadership
training, urban slums regeneration,
and general employment.
In
the UK, there are over 3000 community-based
congregations, with a rapid annual
growth rate. Many of these congregations
have field projects in the UK, Europe,
and other places in the Third World.
We
guide field projects to mature their
attitude towards social responsibility
first with community investment and
then with concern for the environment.
