Who are the Faith2Share members?

Faith2Share network members are all Christian agencies or movements who share a common conviction that humanity benefits when people of faith can openly share that faith with each other and encourage each other to live in ways that reflect our faith convictions.

Some of us have been around a long time. The oldest member, Church Mission Society (Britain), began in 1799 when a group of Christians in London, UK, including John Venn and William Wilberforce, saw the importance of ending the slave trade and overcoming other social evils. Their driving force was the good news of God’s love demonstrated by Jesus Christ and they wanted to share this with others.

Some of us are quite young. Mission Together Africa was started by Kenyan Christians just a few years ago and Mission Together Inc. in Canada began only in 2008. Both of these new movements help local Christians, in Kenya and Canada, to get involved in God’s mission in many parts of the world through prayer, short-term service, long-term service and giving.
