We sponsor several mission leaders and programs. 

Barnabas Aid

seeks to care for the persecuted church around the world, particularly in Muslim environments. Barnabas Aid’s goal is to meet both the practical and spiritual needs of Christians by encouraging, strengthening and enabling the existing local church and Christian communities so they can maintain their presence and witness. Barnabas Aid tackles persecution at its root by making known the aspects of Islam and other ideologies that result in injustice and oppression of non-believers.

The Joshua Project

Dan Scribner (who attended St. Paul’s as a young person and came to faith in Jesus here) works with the Joshua Project, an organization serving the global missions community, dedicated to defining the task of the Great Commission by producing a list of all the people groups in the world along with an indication of the knowledge of Jesus among these people groups. The list of least-reached people groups is invaluable to mission organizations around the world as they decide where to focus resources for missions and Bible translation.
