Gift Day 2025

Each year at HTR, we hold a 'Gift Day', which is an opportunity for us to support three chosen mission organisations with a substantial financial gift, on top of our regular giving to ministry and mission beyond our own church.  We aim to support a variety of local and international charities, which represent the breadth of God's mission.  This year we will be supporting the three organisations profiled below and will split all funds raised evenly between them.  We'll be hearing from each of them in turn during our 10am Sunday services in the weeks leading up to Gift Day.  Please do be prayerfully considering how you might be able to give to God's work across the world.

	Wycliffe Bible Translators Wycliffe's vision is for a world where everyone can know Jesus through the Bible, and so they work alongside local partners worldwide to bring God's word to their communities in the language which best speaks to them.  We will be giving to a particular project based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where Marius and a dedicated team, of local Bible translators have a bold vision - to see God's Word transform 44 different communities in the regions of Isiro, Kisangani and Bunia in DRC.  They are stepping out in faith to reach these communities with the love of God and the truth of the Bible in a language they can truly understand.
	Tearfund Tearfund partners with churches in more than 50 of the world’s poorest countries, to tackle poverty through sustainable development, by responding to disasters and challenging injustice. Thousands of people needlessly suffer and die every day because of poverty, but Tearfund believe that an end to extreme poverty is possible. They partner with local churches and organisations to tackle complex poverty through humanitarian response in places of disaster and conflict, through community development that mobilises resources and empowers communities, and through advocacy and influencing at a local, national and global level.
	LVA (Loved, Valued and Able) LVA is a locally based charity that grew out of HTR. Their vision is to deliver engaging, quality, relevant, holistic and age-appropriate Relationship, Sex and Health Education to young people. They do this through assemblies, classroom workshops, small groups and one to one mentoring in school and community settings. They want to see young people thriving in their personal development, in their relationships and in their gifts and abilities. LVA are passionate and dedicated in being part of their journey into adulthood, and seek to equip schools, parents and the wider community to engage with young people in a way that is relevant, empowering and protective.
