Life Church has a long history of global missional partnerships. These have now developed into a range of nations and different local partnerships with a particular focus on least-reached people groups.
Global Mission
We are committed to financially supporting and partnering with the following ministries
Thailand
Life Church values its partnerships in Thailand including Hmong Life Church, Top Kids and various local outreach ministries, church plants, and online ministries to reach many Thai and Hmong people.
Top Kids
Life Church partners with Prasert at House of Hope in two slum area locations. A vital ministry to at-risk children and families in often dangerous communities. Increased support has helped raise and release the next generation of leaders alongside the team. On Sundays they are local churches within the communities.
Top Kids is a vibrant evangelistic and educational initiative specifically designed for the children residing in the Tungsonghong & Thaisamut slum areas of northern Bangkok. The programme provides a nurturing environment where children not only receive love and care but also engage in enjoyable activities centred around moral principles and biblical teachings. The program aims to instil foundational values while effectively presenting the gospel message. Following the lesson, the children gather together to share a meal, fostering a sense of community and fellowship.

Local Churches
As a church we have supported Pornchai to further his theological studies in the USA. This is with the heart to invest in Pornchai to return to Thailand where he would raise up a new generation of Church leaders and plant more churches throughout the nation. It was Pornchai who we partnered with to plant Hmong Life Church in 2019 and we are excited about furthering our partnership into the future.

South East Asia
We support a training centre based in South East Asia. Serving young people through English language, a bakery, cafe and housekeeping training schools from predominantly tribal communities.
The centre focuses on language, vocational, and development assistance as pathways to reaching out to people. They serve both educated urban people and rural young people, both of whom live in bondage to superstition and fear of spirits. This business facilitates the building of relationships and connections in the wider community. A significant part of the staff training and development is given over to teaching how to pass on these skills to their village communities.
The centre is dedicated to empowering young rural women by providing comprehensive training in essential household skills such as cleaning, cooking, baking, and childcare. Additionally, they impart crucial life skills necessary for success in today's dynamic society. Subjects like budgeting, time management, work ethics, and adaptability are covered, addressing aspects often overlooked, with a literacy component integrated to support those in need of foundational skills.
Moreover, the centre extends its training to both young men and women, focusing on baking, bread making, and other hospitality skills. Literacy support and additional tutoring are offered to bridge educational disparities among rural communities, catering to both genders.
Furthermore, the organisation recognises the opportunity to nurture young believers from predominantly spiritual backgrounds, providing them with spiritual guidance alongside practical skills. This holistic approach not only equips individuals for personal growth but also enables them to positively impact their communities.
