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 Megan arrived back in the UK in May 2025. Their last visit was in 2022. They are taking the opportunity to visit many of the churches around the country supporting their work after meeting with the team in the BMS office at Didcot. During the tour they will visit Hitchin for morning worship at Walsworth Road on June 29th. There is also to be an afternoon tea at the home of Les and Judith Ebden in St Ippolyts on Saturday 28th. Details in the THS weekly news sheet.
Since the last newsletter they have been able to travel to East Nepal where Megan helped deliver some 150 wheelchairs. A planned visit to Surkhet was aborted because of runway damage. Coming back to the UK allowed them to attend a family wedding within the first few days.
We continue to remember them in our prayers at every opportunity, asking that they both remain well and safe.

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.
