Teams from BCF in 2007 visited Egypt, Pakistan and The Philippines to build links between the church in Cornwall and a variety of churches and organisations in these nations.
Pastor Roger and Vance Gillgren, together with Janice Rowland, Dave Moore, Katrina Pitcher and Chris Raven spent a week in Cairo (December 2007) meeting with national organisation leaders and local church pastors in a time of exploring what God was saying to us as a local church. We feel that God showed us clearly our supportive role with Think and Do (an evangelical organisation that trains Egyptians in emplyment activities and places Christian village workers in isolated communities) and two churches that we are actively partnering with in the sharing of the Gospel and in bringing humanitarian aid.
In Febrary 2007 Pastor Roger together with Les Haynes and Steve McQueen visited the Philippines to meet with Bishop Benny Navarro of the Power of Jesus Churches based around Marikina in Metro Manila. A heart to heart relationship was forged in their time there and this paves the way for future contact, relief work and church mission for the future. Pastor Benny is featured in the photo.
Further contacts are being established through missions involvements of individuals in the fellowship with Burma, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Pastor Roger will be taking part in a sponsored cycle ride across Israel in April/May 2008 to raise funds for three projects in the Philippines, Malawi and Kosovo.
