  • Famine in Kenya

    In the run up to the UK Trustees meeting on the 20th Janurary we received the following request from Rev Daniel Mathuva:

    Many people are going without food, already about 6 children have been announced dead due to lack of food.  This might not be understood well by most UK people who have never gone hungry, but brothers and sisters I humbly appeal to you if there are some extra coins in our account or there are some kind people willing to support in providing food, we welcome this. The drought is bad and rains have failed in some areas for years.

    In response to this a significant some of money was sent to Kenya and is now being used to address some of the needs. We expect this will be an ongoing situation. Please pray for the overall situation in Kenya and that the rains will come. If you make a donation to support this need please also contact us so we can make sure your donation gets allocated to famine relief.

  • Times columist states "As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God"

    Times columnist Matthew Parris wrote an article stating that "As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God". We thought this provided an interesting perspective on the work of Christians in Africa.

    Here is a quotation from the article:

    Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.
