KOST Registered Charity 1045068
The Kenyan Orphan Sponsorship Trust (KOST) was first established in 1994, after Dr. Rev. Mabel Parris of Bethel Apostolic Church, Leeds visited Kenya. She witnessed the poverty in western Kenya first hand and was particularly concerned about the plight of orphans and other children affected by AIDS. Upon her return to Leeds she set about establishing a Trust and this became a registered charity in February 1995. Copmanthorpe Methodist Church has close working links with this charity.

One Voice York
Through this site the church in York welcomes you to interact with us and know Jesus. Many flavours and traditions of church are represented by One Voice, which is made up of Christian leaders in relationship who share a common desire to see God bless our city and His kingdom come. York, one of the great walled Roman cities of England, has played an important role in the history of our nation, having at one point been the capital city. That significance continues today spiritually – not only as the seat of the Archbishop of York, but also as a place where many church leaders are praying and cooperating together.

CVM are a movement, not an organisation. We are catalysts for an emerging band of brothers across the UK who want to see the nation won for Jesus. We are the back up team for a passionate, energetic bunch of Jesus' followers who are focussed on introducing men in the UK to Jesus and then getting them gripped and excited by their faith and equipped to live the adventure.

In everything we do, we have the local church in mind and many of the team have years of local church leadership experience. We have specialists in areas as diverse as the work place, Asian culture and "working class" culture.
