Urgent appeal Since the Coronavirus hit the world many of the poorer parts of the world continue to suffer. In Bangladesh and India the situation continues enormously difficult. Now, more than ever before the threat of rising sea levels threaten large parts of Bangladesh. This is impacting further the communities we serve, with the threat of worsening flooding, particularly during the monsoon season.
The Oxford Mission welcomes support in various ways:
Financial support: You can give money to support the work in India and Bangladesh through contacting either one of the Mission locations directly or through the General Secretary's office in the UK. In addition, from time to time the Oxford Mission looks for specific types of help such as sponsoring of a child at a European musical college, or providing board and lodging for a given period of time to one or more members of the Mission that may be traveling overseas.
