Key takeaways

Your work fits best if it is Christian work with a mission focus, since that is the only theme the funder states and it partners with organisations and individuals whose work reflects the values of God's kingdom in practical and transformative ways.
Neither its annual giving nor its grant range is stated, so you cannot judge a realistic request size from its published information, and you should ask what it would consider before setting an amount.
It publishes no application process and chooses a small number of partners through a committee that recommends to the PCC, so it looks relationship-led; the contact shown on its annual report is the sensible first step.
Its stated priority is global and it names no excluded area, so check with the contact rather than assuming your location rules you out, and ask when allocations are decided because no timing is given.
