Short Term Overseas placements and Students
There are many opportunities for service overseas and mission work both home and abroad . Several of the fellowship have undertaken short placements with a variety of Christian organisations and the World Vision Team can offer help and prayer support for those who are seeking to serve the Lord in this way.
Portswood Church has also undertaken to support people who have gone from the church to bible college prior to full time Christian service.
