Community Projects

TACT are praying for God's blessing on our communities. Jesus had compassion on people, seeing many as harassed and scattered. Today His love and care are shown through His people in practical, social and spiritual ways. TACT supports and provides spiritual care for all the activities below, though each one is set up under its own scheme.

You can read reports on many of these projects in the January 2019 TACT AGM Report - click here to view: TACT AGM Reports January 2019.
