About us
Charity basisK180 is a UK Registered charity (1123294). There is a Board of Trustees: Mr T Manson (Chair of Trustees), Mr A Dewick, Mr J Taylor and Ms J Ochsner. As a charity, Kerygma180 is dependent upon donations as we pursue the call God has given us. Your donations help us to take the love of Jesus to where it's most desperately needed and hardest to find. Your contribution is of immense help, no matter how small you might think it is!
HistoryThe ministry was birthed in 1995 as Martin started taking the gospel on to the streets of West London. Commissioned by local church leadership, Martin left his banking career in 2001 and dedicated his time to declaring the Good News in London and further afield. Others joined in this venture, and with consequent steady growth came the need to formalise charity status here in England, and Kerygma180 was born. We are grateful to God for all those who stand as partners in this ministry, and we are particularly thankful for the many people who volunteer their time and resources. Not only is K180 enriched by such partnership, but the core team is significantly strengthened!
