Two Rivers Mission

Fordham & Eight Ash Green3rd – 11th May

What is Through Faith Missions?

Through Faith Mission’s first Walk Mission was along the Pennine Way in 1991 where 500 men in teams of 10 went out to where ordinary people were; teams of men going to meet people – in shopping malls, pubs, out and about, speaking about Jesus.Since then Through Faith Missions have organised many walk missions. They first came to us in 1995. 19 years later they are back again as part of the Two Rivers Mission.
