International Parnerships

 

"God wants the Church ... to fulfill His promise [to Abraham] to bless all nations."

At Life Vineyard Church, we are part of a wider movement of Vineyard churches partnering together to bless and support sister churches around the world. We are currently privileged to be involved in partnerships in:

  • Malawi 🇲🇼

  • Türkiye (Turkey) & Azerbaijan 🇹🇷 🇦🇿

 
 
 
 

Malawi

We are blessed to partner with Malingunde Vineyard Church, led by Chippo, Janet, and Rhoddes, who are growing a vibrant network of local Vineyard churches in central Malawi.

We support leadership training and discipleship within the Malawian church network, we pray regularly with and for the Malawian team, and we also support financially and offer ongoing encouragement.

Pray for the Malawian team and the churches they lead. You can also get in touch with us if you would like to support financially to help strengthen the work they are doing.

Nicola Bass, was able to visit a few years ago, and we continue to stay connected as a church community.

 

"It is a joy to connect regularly, each time we talk and pray we are all blessed by the presence of God amongst us knitting us together and deeply encouraging us. We share our experiences together around leadership, evangelism and church planting. It's a joy for us to be able to practically support this expression of the Kingdom of God" - Nicola

 
 
 

Türkiye & Azerbaijan

Our Turkey partnership supports local pastors and church networks in both Turkey and Azerbaijan—including churches in Istanbul, Baku, and other cities. Though both countries are predominantly Muslim, but in recent years have seen increasing numbers of people question their traditional faith and finding new life in Jesus..

Ali & Pervin are leading a group of churches in Istanbul, they run a discipleship school, and are building connections with churches across the region.

Followers of Jesus are often discriminated against and struggle to find employment, yet they continue to boldly share the gospel and build the church.

Pray & praise God for their boldness and faithfulness, and pray for more people to turn to and find new life in Jesus.

 
 

Why This Matters

Jesus told us to take his message to the whole world. We want to see our neighbours and our communities in the North East of England come into the fullness of life that Jesus offers - but we also want to see the same thing across the world.

You can get involved by praying, and by helping us financially support these partnerships in Malawi, and in Turkey and Azerbaijan. For more information please contact Nicola Bass or Frank Hindle, or email bless.all.nations@lifevineyard.church.
