Templars are at work doing good across the globe.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As Templars, providing for the needs of others in Jesus\u2019 name is a paramount part of, not only our mission, but the calling of Christ placed on our lives. Therefore, as charitable activities unfold across our international order, we will post them here \u2013 not because we glory in ourselves or our good works, but because we want to honor Christ and encourage others to get involved in the work He is doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We encourage personal involvement from our Members within our activities, with the emphasis on our Order\u2019s declared support aims and on more local, practical good works. Personal involvement helps to ensure that all efforts and donations benefit the intended recipients more completely, and are not diminished by an external charity\u2019s operational expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We aim through our ethos to get involved in activities and situations which other people may find too \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 and decline to get involved. Courage, compassion, integrity, humility, faith and self sacrifice are at the core of what it means to be a Templar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Members cover their own expenses to further help ensure that contributions reach those in need of our support in full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We present a selection of our Christian & Humanitarian activities from our Grand Priories & Commanderies. We always welcome offers of help and support from all people within our local communities, even if only for specific areas of our work and on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
