A regular proportion of the income received to Rothley Parish Church is set aside each year to support projects both at home and overseas. Here are examples of the projects to which the money was put to work in 2009 for overseas support.

Crosslinks – Crosslinks works mainly within the Anglican Communion and in partnership with the Church in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. Our mission partners are currently Jirka and Keira Kralovi who are working from an established evangelical church in the centre of Olomouc, a large university town in the East of the Czech Republic. They are discipling Christian students and reaching out with the gospel to other students at Olomouc University.

Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) – Rothley Parish Church is part of the Anglican Diocese of Leicester. The diocese shares a common purse, and our financial contribution helps to ensure that in every part of Leicestershire there is a Church parish presence with clergy, other staff and volunteers who care for the spiritual health of each place.
By a link arrangement, the Diocese of Leicester supports, encourages and benefits from sharing with the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, as well as similar links in South India.

Mission to Seafarers – Without Seafarers the shelves in our supermarkets would be almost empty. 90% of the world’s trade goes by sea. The men who man these ships are often far from home when they reach port, often having to face sadness and hardship without effective support. The Mission puts over 100 full- time staff into port centres around the world, and over 200 honorary chaplains in 200 others. As well as financial support, we round up bags of much sought after jumpers and balaclavas each year and visit a port centre with them.

Tearfund – Tearfund is a leading relief and development charity working in partnership with Christian agencies and churches worldwide to tackle the causes and effects of poverty.
