Overseas mission
In selecting a number of countries and organisations, we aim to help promote informed prayer and in some areas foster links which will result in individuals from New Life Baptist Church engage in short term mission.
Italy − Church in Verbania
New Life Baptist Church is partnering a church in Verbania, Italy which is the only evangelical church for approximately 70km. Members of our church visit the church several times a year to encourage Pastor Donato and his wife Antonietta and provide some support with teaching and training church leaders. The church started in 1999 and, since then, has grown from 5 to 65 members.
Uganda − Quisley House Trust
How can you help orphans and widows in a foreign country, when it is not possible to assist directly? By raising funds to send to organisations in that country that can focus aid. That is what Quisley House Trust is committed to achieving.
A fund-raising charity in the United Kingdom, Quisley House Trust directs its income to supporting Impact Child–Care Uganda, which provides orphans with food, clothing, medical needs, accommodation and schooling. Local people in Uganda run the orphanage and school; additionally, a farm has been set up to develop the teaching of animal husbandry, the with the aim of making the organisation self–sufficient. New Life Baptist Church's children have raised over £1000 in support of Quisley House Trust.

India − Compassion
In the past two years over 150,000 children have come to know Jesus through the work of Compassion. Our Church seeks to support the work of the Compassion ministry because through its child sponsorship programme, it's responding in a thoroughly biblical way to the needs of the children in the developing world. Members of New Life Baptist Church have currently support nearly 30 children mostly living near Chennai, India.
