Destiny Connections
DESTINY CONNECTIONS are the friendships and partnering of churches and ministries who through mutual encouragement and support, help give security, accountability and shared resources to enable the Church of Jesus Christ, and those whom God has called to serve Him, to grow, to be healthy and effective. There are now close to 200 active DESTINY CONNECTIONS working in the UK , The Czech Republic, Malawi and India - seeking to serve and progress the work of God in whatever way we can.
Missions are a vital part of the ministry of Destiny Church Wakefield. This represents our response to the help meet the needs of a hurting world. The people of Destiny Church have generously enabled Missions to go ahead and some incredible offerings have meant that projects in places like Malawi and India have been undertaken that have made a real difference to the lives of many people.
Destiny Connections main focus at the moment is India , Malawi , The Czech Republic and the UK .
INDIA
Jaipur, in Rajasthan is called the ' Pink City ', and is home to Pastor Rajesh Malaki, DESTINY CONNECTIONS INDIA Director. This is the main 'hub' church from where Destiny is working in India from where we serve more than 100 churches throughout Northern and Central India . (from Jaipur to Mumbai) and our Bible College - Destiny Bible Institute. In addition to the visits by Ian and Rachel Critchley to encourage the churches and lead Conferences for Pastors from across Northern and Central India, Destiny Church in Wakefield has also taken a Mission Team to India to help support the work in that vast country.
Destiny Bible Institute is the Bible College in Jaipur where those who feel the call of God are being trained for the Ministry. There are currently 15 young men on our full-time course at DBI in Jaipur.
The Destiny Foundation is our NGO working in India to facilitate a number of caring programmes, including building a day-care centre for street kids, providing a literacy programme for ladies, tackling the challenge of finding clean water in the surrounding desert etc.
MALAWI
'Mission to Malawi' Teams have helped support the building of a Church, Community Centre and Orphanage in Malawi , one of the poorest countries on earth. Partnering with Pastor Geoffrey Matoga and working through several dozen local churches, Destiny has been able to resource, help and encourage a number of compassionate initiatives including providing grain during times of famine, supporting local Pastors and the building of an Orphanage to house 50 children who have been the victims of the rampant AIDS epidemic in that country.
The main Church in Blantyre, Malawi is an outstanding example of what can be done in a country that is poor, often hungry through famine and ravaged by the affects of the AIDS epidemic - yet here is a beacon of hope, a church has arisen which is making a difference to the lives of thousands of Malawian's.
THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Destiny Mission Teams have been going to The Czech Republic for over ten years to hold evangelistic meetings, support and encourage local Czech Christian churches through our friendship with Pastor Slavek Zajicek from Mlada Boleslav. The teams have produced a varied programme including crusades, outreaches to young people, working to refurbish a school playground and English language schools.
You can get involved in these missions by praying, and giving.
