Missions

Jesus commanded his disciples to share with others the good news about himself.

He said they should begin in Jerusalem and then to Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. They obeyed his command and it was said by historians that the early disciples turned the world upside down with the teachings of Christ. (Christians would argue they turned it the right way up)

The command to has never been rescinded and we at NLCC do what we can, to share the good news of Christ through prayer and financial support to various people and projects, on a local, regional, national and international basis.

Here are just a few :-

Local

1. The Cross Project. This is a team of young people who visit local senior schools to be mentors, take assemblies, lessons, and lunch time clubs. The Cross Project

2. Wakefield Street Angels These are a group of incredible people who help those on the streets of Wakefield who every Friday and Saturday nights, get into all sorts of bother through drink etc

Regional

1. Proclaim Trust. This is headed up by ex drug addict Barry Woodward who although operating nationally, works more especially in the Yorkshire Region. Barry goes to prisons, to churches, and into schools to share his faith and the dangers of drugs. We have also sponsored the distribution of a DVD of his life story to prisons and local schools. His life story in book form 'Once and Addict' has been sponsiored into local prisons. Barry ministers annually in the church here in Wakefield.Proclaim Trust
