New Life in Zimbabwe

The January 2015 edition of The Link carried an account of a coffee morning held at St Andrew’s, to raise money to support a family in Zimbabwe, which had fallen on hard times. The daughter of the family, Barbra, lives in Bradford with her husband and three children, and attends St Andrew’s. She had told us of their difficulties. The coffee morning raised £651 for the family, which has enabled them to set up a chicken farm and given them a new lease of life. Praise the Lord!

We received the following letter from the family, together with some photographs

“My family send their thanks to St Andrew’s Church for their generosity, love and kindness to my family in Zimbabwe. They are happy with the help they received from the church. They were sad after the tragedy of losing their children and being left to look after 13 grand-children, after both their parents died.

My mother’s health gets worse, and my father had an accident, when a tree fell on him and affected his back. This meant that he could no longer farm as he used to do. St Andrew’s Church has given them hope and brought happiness into their lives. Now they can look after themselves and their grand-children, sending them to school.

May God bless St Andrew’s Church, Barbra”

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

Dear friends, You are personally invited to attend an exciting evening at Bradford Academy that we hope will bring people together from Bradford and Leeds to see how further Unity, Prayerful Worship and Missional Transformation can develop between the two cities. Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future. There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014. Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward: We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the y...
