“Our lives were finished, we had given up hope and were going to abandon our fields. But your seed, tillers, diesel and fertiliser came along and helped us to plant.”

CWS Holds Regional Forums

CWS is hosting a series of forums introducing this year’s Christmas Appeal kit, Save My Place and providing an update on our ministry.

It is an opportunity designed to showcase the work of the organisation for clergy and parish advocates/links.  The forums last for an hour and half, allowing plenty of time for questions and opportunities for feedback. 

“Help us spread the word of God’s love for our neighbours and our partners’ cry for global justice,” saying Michael Earle, Church and Donor Relations, Coordinator.
CWS was started by the then National Council of Churches in 1945 in response to war-torn Europe and expanded its work throughout the world.
