World Mission
At Gerrard Street, we believe firmly in World Mission.
We have pledged to give 20% of our regular income to support mission work away from Gerrard Street. Our preference is always to support missionaries who we know and ideally who have been part of the church in the past. Although they may not attend very often, we continue to view such missionaries as part of our fellowship.
Some of our missionaries have asked that their details not be publicised where there is a threat of persecution. However you can read about most of them here.
