A Brief Background
After each year of lectures, workshops, and training at the School of Ministry and Leadership (SOMAL); participants are encouraged to find ways of using the knowledge acquired as a platform for ministering to the Body of Christ. This led to the birth of a number of Ministries in ACI UK – the Health Care, Orphanage, Homeless and Community Ministries.
With graduates of SOMAL 2010, at the helm and support from the Bishop and Leadership of ACI UK, these ministries have mobilised members of the congregation, made various impacts and raised ACI profile within our community. Individuals have also been positively affected by these ministries through their fundraising events, organised mission trips and hospital visitations.
Community Ministry
The ACI Community Ministry aims to create links with our immediate community – Westminster Borough, Impacting and affecting the lives of our immediate neighbours, by this doing creating communication links and finding common ground to benefit both ACI UK and the community in general.
Health Care Ministry (HCM)
The Health Care Ministry seeks to promote health (physical and mental wellbeing) in ACI UK and the community in general. To this day HCM undertakes productive health promotional activities as well as hospital visitation (chaplaincy) in collaboration with Imperial College NHS Trust
Homeless Ministry
The Homeless Ministry engages in identifying communities within the local church area requiring food, clothing and other basic essentials. The Ministry provides food and clothes to the needy, and shares God’s Word with them with the aim of impacting their lives in a positive way. In previous years, we have successfully ministered to Maida Vale, Charing Cross, amongst other areas. Here are photos of some of our activities pre COVID where we made about five visits to the Strand in Charing Cross, near the Zimbabwean Embassy.
