Nineteen months in and our team look, speak, live and even sometimes think like the most ostracised and impoverished people in Lesotho – The Balisana (shepherds).

Sam & Leanna are leading the Lesotho shepherds TIMO team. We asked their four children, Zeke (3), Zeph (5), Suzanna (11) and Ella (14) what’s it like.

Working on an agricultural project in Lesotho is hardly where you would expect to find a photographer and an accountant, but this is where the Lord called Barry & Heather Mann to serve.

Barry & Heather Mann work with Growing Nations, an organisation focused on sustainable agricultural based in Lesotho.

In December, Sam was interviewed on UCB radio about the Shepherds and the TIMO teams desire to reach them with the good news of Jesus Christ and plant a church among them.
