International Friendship
Help welcome people from overseas who live or work in the Tonbridge area. Many feel isolated, especially those who work on farms, don't speak English well or don't know much about British culture. Knowing that Christ has a special place in his heart for the stranger, as his Church in Tonbridge we want to be the first to make them feel at home.
