THE GREAT MISSION
The Great Mission's vision is to advance the Christian faith by helping and serving people in material and spiritual ways. Through a network of missionary evangelists we hold events to distribute aid to the poor and to educate communities to better their lives. Currently our main base is in Brazil, though our missionaries also operate in Africa and Central Asia.

What the accounts disclose
“Voluntary income – donations 533923”
“the trustees of TGM agreed to accept a transfer of funds from Vinesong Trust to the amount of £500,000. This was done in accordance with Charity Commission regulations which allow for transfers of funds between charities of similar charitable objectives and in lieu of the fact that Vinesong Ministries is closing. Whilst the funds are to be given for the general objectives of the ministry, TGM used £220,000 + fees to purchase a retirement apartment and part of the remnant to pay a pension of £1000 and utility bills for missionary John Watson until his death. It was agreed that part of the other funds would be used towards TGM ministry objectives especially to cover the relocation costs of Giles Stevens to the USA.”
