BMS World Mission supports 370 personnel working in 40 countries of the world, where they serve the people in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ, alleviating suffering and injustice and improving the quality of life.
BMS World Mission says of Nepal: "Nepal’s breath-taking scenery has rightly earned it the title of Mountain Kingdom. However, this title hides a people who are amongst the poorest in the world. "

Alan and Megan spent some time in the UK in 2022 and took the opportunity to visit many of the churches around the country supporting their work. During the tour they were able to visit Hitchin and joined worship at Walsworth Road in the morning and held a question and answer session at Tileshouse Street in the afternoon.
In their latest news, Alan and Megan tell of visits to BMS partners in Bangladesh and India. The write that they were pleasantly surprised by the widespread influence of William Carey, founder of BMS in 1792. They were able to visit schools and community projects as well as seeing medical work and school clubs in impoverished districts.
They have a busy month ahead before their return to the UK for a 3 month visit.
We continue to remember them in our prayers at every opportunity, asking that they both remain well and safe.

We often work together with other local churches that are members of "Churches Together in Hitchin", (which is part of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland).
In particular, we hold occasional joint services with Walsworth Road Baptist Church, which, like Tilehouse Street, is also a member of the Central Baptist Association and the Baptist Union of Great Britain.
