At Emmanuel, we seek to support Christian charities working around the world to spread the good news about Jesus Christ. We currently pray regularly for and give financially to Crosslinks, Speak Life and Faith in Kids. You can find out more about these organisations below.
Crosslinks exists to help people get involved in God’s mission. They believe every Christian has a part to play in God’s plan for the world. In five continents and over 30 countries, Crosslinks has long-term mission partners, short-term volunteers and gospel-based projects. All Crosslinks people and projects are involved in frontline evangelism or training pastor teachers. More information is available on their website.
Emmanuel’s association with Crosslinks goes right back to the beginning of the organisation: Walter Kitley, who was Vicar of Emmanuel from 1931-1938, served as Organising Secretary of the Bible Churchmen’s Missionary Society (BCMS – Crosslinks’ former name) in the North of England from 1924 to 1931. Our links continue to the present, as a member of our church family recently joined a short-term mission trip to The Gambia, we support Christ Central Soweto, a growing gospel-centred church in Johannesburg, South Africa, and we support Jirka and Keira Kralovi, who are involved with student ministry in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Speak Life’s purpose is to proclaim the gospel through powerful preaching and innovative use of the latest technology. When the organisation began in 1952, this meant radio and print media; now, Speak Life produces top-quality videos, podcasts and other online media, reaching people through YouTube and Facebook. They also run The Foundry, a internship programme for creative, mission-minded Christians. More information, as well as free access to all video resources, is available on their website, and you can find more on their YouTube channel.
Below is a video introducing the work of Speak Life.
The Faith in Kids team exists to serve the church.
Families need the faithful teaching, support and community that only the local church can offer.
Faith in Kids celebrate and cheer for churches as we faithfully teach God’s word and engage with families.
They aren’t here to add another burden. They aim to offer creative ideas, well-written resources, inspiring training and encouraging podcasts that complement church ministry and encourage families at home.
Faith in Kids long to see confident parents and thriving churches working together to raise children who trust in Jesus eternally.
