We believe God has called us to partner with missionaries and national church leaders serving in Sri Lanka. This partnership involves praying for them, providing resources to support their ministries, and encouraging them in their work.
We also respond to global crises and natural disasters—such as floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and cyclones—by offering practical help where it’s needed most.
Three times a year, we hold a dedicated Missions Sunday to highlight the impact of our overseas missions and celebrate what God is doing through these partnerships.
Sri Lanka
We maintain ongoing partnerships with several organizations in Sri Lanka:
• We support two orphanages, one of which is a Boy’s Home located in Gampola.
• We provide financial assistance to an Elderly People’s Home in Colombo.
• We extend annual support to a national pastor who provides oversight to regional Assemblies of God pastors
Partner with Us to Support Maranatha Children’s Home – Hatton, Sri Lanka
Maranatha Children’s Home in Hatton is a refuge for 45 precious boys and girls—many of whom are orphans or come from families that are unable to provide basic necessities such as food, clothing, and education.
As a church, we have had the privilege of partnering with this compassionate and Christ-centered organization for many years. Through ongoing financial support, we’ve helped them continue their vital work of nurturing, educating, and raising up the next generation in love and dignity.
Let us continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Together, we can feed the hungry, clothe the vulnerable, and lift these children to a brighter future. Join us in raising their standard of living and offering them the hope they deserve.
Sjaloom Boy’s Home
Rev. Thushara Ratnayake and his wife established a registered children’s home in Matale, Sri Lanka in 2009, following a long-standing calling to care for vulnerable children. The home, overseen by the Sjaloom Social Welfare Society, currently supports 12 children. It complies with all legal and child safety regulations under the Child Probation Department. Future plans include opening a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Rev. Thushara invites support and partnership in expanding this mission to transform lives and build God’s Kingdom in Sri Lanka.

Upcot Church Building Project – Partner with Us
The Lord has placed it on our hearts to establish a church in the region of Upcot, Sri Lanka—a place where people often walk miles just to attend a church service. Recently, a generous group of people gifted a block of land near a local tea estate to the Assemblies of God Church in Upcot, providing the perfect location to build a house of worship for the local community.
The total cost of this building project is approximately AUD $20,000. By God’s grace, the foundation has already been laid, and we are now in the second stage of construction.
St Joseph’s Home for the Elders – A Place of Love and Dignity
St Joseph’s Home for the Elders is a sanctuary of care and compassion, overseen by Catholic priest Fr Marcus. It provides shelter and support for 15 elderly women—widows who have no family or place to call home in their later years.
For many years, we as a church have been privileged to support this beautiful ministry. It has been a true blessing to witness how God has provided for these dear ladies, giving them a safe, comfortable environment and daily nourishment as they live out their final season of life with dignity and peace.
This home is more than a place to stay—it is a testimony of God’s love in action. We thank God for the opportunity to be part of such meaningful work.
