Mandate Ministries: Honouring Ross Winchester

In January 2025, with heavy hearts we said farewell to an absolute giant in the faith and field – Ross Winchester. 

For the last 40 years, Ross served wholeheartedly and faithfully as a missionary, influencing and impacting the people of Thailand, North and SE Asia through both practical care and strengthening and training leaders to reach the next generation for Jesus.  

Ross made an impact everywhere he went and always knew how to make people laugh. Even in his final weeks, he was sharing the gospel, working out ways to help the Karen people in Myanmar, and cracking jokes from his hospital bed. Ross remains one of the longest serving field workers in the ACC movement. He was greatly loved and is missed by many. 

Pray

For Donna, her family and the Mandate Ministries team as their work continues – caring for the Thai and Karen people in the midst of civil war and the devastating after-effects of the Myanmar earthquake in March 2025.
