In 2025, World Mission Sunday was celebrated on Sunday 19 October.
This year, the focus was on Myanmar and the work of missionaries who are offering help and hope to communities who are suffering. Current political, environmental and humanitarian challenges have left thousands of people killed or injured and millions displaced from their homes. Watch the short film below to learn more.
