London City Mission is recognised by       Global Connections as operating under       the Code of Best Practice in       Short-Term Mission 2011 and 2012

Capital Kids (please see above) Capital runs training events and Fun Days throughout the year, working with churches and LCM Centres inside the M25. For those who have a heart for children’s ministry, then this is a great way to contribute to the long term ministries at LCM and gain some valuable training.

Tell-a-Tourist (please see above) London is a major landmark on the world map of most tourists - this creates a great opportunity to tell the world about Jesus. Tell-a-Tourist is a week long summer programme devoted to open air evangelism throughout the capital where you’re able to engage with people from all over the world. This is especially important because many people come from areas where there is no gospel ministry.
