BMS World Mission supports 370 personnel working in 40 countries of the world, where they serve the people in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ, alleviating suffering and injustice and improving the quality of life.

BMS World Mission says of Nepal: "Nepal’s breath-taking scenery has rightly earned it the title of Mountain Kingdom. However, this title hides a people who are amongst the poorest in the world. "

Alan and Meganhave been back in Nepal for several months since their visit to the UK where they completed the list of visits shown in previous letters. They have lots of happy memories of enjoyable times.

They concluded their visit with a short holiday in Ireland. It was quite an eventful journey back to Nepal - exactly 25 years since their first flight there. Now they have settled into the daily routines and some new projects to work on.


Alan writes in November: "It has been quite an adventurous time for us since our last newsletter. We have visited places we've never been to before and Alan has been suffering from a viral illness that we'd never heard of before! "

Our mission to the local community

Good Friday service

We often work together with other local churches that are members of "Churches Together in Hitchin", (which is part of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland).

In particular, we hold occasional joint services with Walsworth Road Baptist Church, which, like Tilehouse Street, is also a member of the Central Baptist Association and the Baptist Union of Great Britain.
