A Warm Welcome for New Minister
An Indian-themed evening including hot spicy nibbles and radiators on full was how URC Minister Rev Peter Blackband was warmly welcomed into his new pastorate, Adeyfield Free Church (AFC).
The evening was organised by two Elders of the church in Hemel Hempstead, both of whom were team-members on an innovative mission trip to India last year with Through the Roof.
According to the World Health Organisation, “98% of disabled children in developing countries do not receive an education” so the charity’s Integr8 programme provides the opportunity for UK Christians who work with children with Special Educational Needs to make a lasting difference
50 people attended the evening and saw a DVD of the work in India where the team trained and resourced 120 teachers and community leaders to recognise and release the full potential of disabled children.
AFC raised over £400 for the project which is now looking for funds and volunteers to travel to Guatemala – Latin America’s second poorest country this summer – For more information on the trip or if you would like to organise an ‘Indian evening’ to raise awareness and funds, please contact: tel: 01372 749955 or follow this link to email Through the
