The Melanesian Mission is an Anglican mission agency that provides support to the Church of Melanesia through prayer, people and financial grants.

People - relationships between people of different cultures are important in today’s world.

The Melanesian Mission plays a key role developing partnerships between those from the Church of Melanesia and the church in the UK.

Money - the Melanesian Mission was established in 1854 to buy the first ship, the Southern Cross, for Bishop Selwyn to use for mission work in the islands.

Today money is still needed for the church to operate over such a vast and isolated region. Every year the Melanesian Mission gives grants to the Church of Melanesia so that the church there can decide how best to spend the money.

Prayer support - the more we know of God, the stronger our relationship becomes and the more we become aware of the needs of others.

Please pray for the church and people of Melanesia:-

O Jesus,

Be the canoe that holds me up in the sea of life;

Be the rudder that keeps me in the straight road;

Be the outrigger that supports me in times of temptation.

Let your Spirit be my sail that carries me through each day.

Keep my body strong so I can paddle steadfastly

on in the voyage of life. Amen
