Tearfund Scotland - Exciting Times

I was at my first meeting of the National Advisory Committee for Tearfund Scotland last night.

I feel honoured to be able to be part of the work of Tearfund in this way and look forward to our work together serving the poorest and most needy peoples of the world in years to come.

We heard news of the work of Self Help Groups within the Kale Heywet Church in Ethiopia, more than 3,000 of these 20 member groups established in 3 years. Initially providing a means of saving small amounts and then offering small loans these groups have seen a growth in community and love for the members of the group and community among those touched by this exciting project.

Please do pray for Lynne, Jo and Fiona in the office in Glasgow. Please do come along to the lunch event on Thu 19 May at the Augustine United Church in Edinburgh, 12.45 for 1, to hear of Tearfund's response to the earthquake in Haiti.
