Barry and Heather Mann

Sent from Winchester Baptist Church

Barry and Heather work with Growing Nations in Maphutseng, Lesotho. Heather is the CEO and Barry works in Communications and they are Unit Leaders for Lesotho.

They have been serving with AIM at Growing Nations since 2012. Heather works as the project’s CEO, overseeing the finances, working on grant and project funding proposals and the overall strategic development, whilst Barry is the project’s communications specialist, involved in the development of farmer training materials, photography/video production and website development. A significant part of both of their roles at Growing Nations is the mentoring, coaching & spiritual development of the Basotho staff team.

They are also AIM’s Unit Leaders for Lesotho and are responsible for the member care of 10 mission partners working across the country. Currently, Barry and Heather are working remotely from the UK.

In October Barry Mann will take over from Carrie Pither as AIM’s International Crisis Consultant, balancing this role with his work for Growing Nations.

A few weeks ago, Growing Nations in Lesotho and a couple of villages nearby were hit by a devastating hailstorm, which destroyed a lot of the crops that had been planted at the end of last year. It is too late in the growing season for some of the crops to be replanted, but the team have replanted others in the hope that they will have enough time to grow to maturity before the first winter frosts come in April. Please pray that the crops left alive, and those replanted, will be able to grow and be harvested before the winter. Pray that the team will not be discouraged.
