Interesting webinar series coming up from @cwmission Europe region.
Contact Sai or us for details! #unity #mission #flourishingcommunities
Thinking today of so many hurting people in and from Nigeria today, and especially the @rccguk.
Also feeling pained that our own government will vote to not feed the most vulnerable children in the UK.
Feeling hopeful from hearing so many passionate Christian voices !
