A part of the answer
I will never forget the article I read about a teenage girl who had to bury her mother and two sisters in the desert sand. This article haunted me. I asked, “Who is on the other side of the Mediterranean welcoming such a victim of human suffering? Who is there to embrace her and offer her hope and healing?”

Befriending the community
"Our church has always sought to meet and reach out into the community, ever since it was founded in the early 1800s. We are not a comfy church. We're a small congregation, who are mission-minded, and everyone gets involved. Most of us are retired and we have seen a lot of changes in our local area over the years."
Adding value
Chris Power, from AIM’s Southern Region office, talks about the opportunities available for short term mission teams that consider how caring for the environment fits in with mission.
