Supported Missionaries

Howick Baptist supports about 5 or 6 missionaries consistently in a number of different countries.  However we do not publicly disclose the details of the missionaries we support unless we have their express permission.  There may be more information up here in the future.  We do however have some information available on our supported missionaries on the church bulletin boards and notices brochure.

Voice of the Martyrs Writers' Group

HBC VOM Writers' Group meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month (10:00 - 11:30 HBC Prayer Room) to pray for the persecuted church and write letters to Christian prisoners who are suffering persecution because of their love for Jesus. Letters can make a difference!

Mail sent to Christian prisoners, and to those who are being persecuted is important because it:
- indicates to authorities that we are aware of that Christian’s situation
- testifies of the love and unity found among followers of Jesus Christ throughout the world
- is evidence to our persecuted family that they are not forgotten
- can result in better treatment for a prisoner

If you would like to join us, please contact: Judy 09 5344487

“Remember those who are in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Hebrews 13:3

Freeset Bags Project

This is a project supported by us through a love offering.  The money is used to help set women free from prostitution in a well known area of North Calcutta.  The women are given the opportunity to earn a living for themselves by making a variety of Freeset designed bags.  This simple opportunity ends a cycle of poverty for many women and gives them hope for the future and their children.  For more information you can visit their official website at www.freesetbags.com.
