Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Church Mission Society began in 1799 with a group of Christians, including William Wilberforce, who said yes to Jesus’ call to follow him to the edges. Today, in that same pioneering spirit, we continue to share Jesus’ love at the edges – working in over 40 countries across the world and in the UK.

Story

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Over the summer I had the privilege of visiting through the UK based charity, CMS, Hogar El Alba, an oprhanage in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I met some inspirational people who worked at the orphanage and even more inspirational children taken into care by the home, where they are loved, fed and educated and given a new chance in life and the hope of a brighter future. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Having being so blessed by my time spent with them in August, I wanted to carry on supporting their fantastic work. And then the offer of a tandem skydive to help raise money for them came along. I hate heights. I'd much prefer to take off AND land in a plane. I'm not sure&nbsp;I was made to plummet at 120mph. But I found myself saying yes. The smiling faces of the children of Hogar, made me say yes! </span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Please sponsor me! My aim is to raise at least &pound;400 - money that will go much further in Argentina. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
