Global Outreach Programs in Diocese

By DIOPA

Tuesday, August 6th, 2024

This serves as an introduction and resource to the local churches that are involved with or support our mission work internationally. Bishop Gutierrez has set the mission standard as president of the Compass Rose Society, supporting the work of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglican Communion throughout the world.

Within our diocese there are around 30 churches that are actively involved in overseas outreach. As entirely voluntary efforts we feel very encouraged that so many churches are involved.

Please support the tireless efforts of these wonderful people by donating your time or treasure to support their efforts. Discern starting your own small overseas mission. Please contact Canon Toneh Smyth at tsmyth@diopa.org or the chair of the Global Mission commission, Terry Champion at tchampion4027@att.net. They will help you make the right connection to start you on your journey.
