Trailblazing initiative brings gospel to disadvantaged

LtoR: Rasoul Badrlou and Scott McKay

Four years since its inception, a pioneering initiative to bring the gospel to economically disadvantaged and ethnic minority areas is bringing transformation across the UK.

The Sychar Gospel Fund was established in 2021 with a vision to support local churches in the poorest areas of Britain – it has distributed more than £1.4 million in grants to 125 men and women from 40 different churches to date.

“We are delighted to report on the way in which the Lord has blessed the aims of the Fund to help churches in economically disadvantaged and ethnically unreached areas of Britain raise up and train men and women for gospel ministry in their communities,” said Trevor Archer, chair of the Sychar Gospel Fund Advisory Board.
