Parachute for CMS · 10 October 2009

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

     Thanks for taking the time to visit  Steve Burgess and Louise Burgess JustGiving shared page

 

                                            We have done it and it was fantastic.  WOW!

Thankyou for your prayers and support to our parachute jump in aid of the Church Mission Society

On 10th October, Louise and I with some of the more brave/crazy members of CMS staff and friends  leaped out of a plane at 13,000 feet!! After freefalling for 5,000 feet, falling through the air at 120mph,  parachutes were opened  and we glid gently down to earth. All 7 of us came down safely and happily to celebrate. Praise God.

All the funds raised by the team will go to CMS general funds, helping staff and Mission Partners all over the world to continue to share Jesus and see lives changed........... You can see more about CMS at www.cms-uk.org 

Steve still works for CMS, facilitating mission in Africa- " so I know how the money raised will be used, and am excited and keen to support, in a personal way, mission in Africa and the world".

Louise loves to volunteer for CMS at Greenbelt and now jumping into thin air; she says, "I do this because I know CMS and have experience that their work is good".

Thank you for your generous support , we have gone beyond our target of  £1000. but feel free continue to donate to support mission work through CMS.
