Resourcing a church on the move
Faith is flourishing like never before in Mara – a region about the size of Wales. Fifteen years ago there were 35 parishes in the Diocese now there are 150. All this is happening because Christians in are determined to make an impact on their community. They are transforming remote villages with an intensely practical expression of their faith; they are building schools, providing fresh water and supporting communities’ own aspirations to rise out of poverty.
