At Transformations Leeds, we’re dedicated to transforming students to transform the nations. But we can’t do that effectively without partnerships with churches like yours. By supporting, equipping, and facilitating churches to make a difference rather than solely relying on our staff we are able to have a much deeper and wider impact than ever before. So if your church is looking for help with international students please read about what we’re doing and get in touch!
