St James as well as supporting many other churches in Lichfield diocese through its share contribution, also supports a number of other mission and relief agencies.
We believe that as God has blessed us with so much, it is a Christian response to want to share what we have with others who need both prayer and financial support.
Our giving follows this pattern. We give internationally, nationally and locally and in each of these areas we support one agency emphasising the message of good news of Jesus and one concerned with practical aid emphasising Jesus' concern for the human condition that he shared.
Internationally we support
* Crosslinks that supports the work of churches across the world. In our case Richard and Bianca Reeve and their family at work in Mozambique.
* Scripture Union as it works amongst street children in Peru.
Nationally we support
* Oak Hill Theological college that trains people for service in the church as ordinands, children and youth workers and other forms of service.
* The David Chilcott fund that provides holidays for children in difficult situations.
Locally we support
* North Staffs Youth for Christ, working with young people through schools and churches to introduce them to Jesus.
* And the St Marks Night shelter operating at Christmas to help the homeless.
