OVERSEAS TARGET PROJECT 2024
Disaster and Climate Change Management in the Pacific. The project specifically aims to build disaster resilience for people with disabilities in Solomon Islands. Due to the increasing impacts of climate change, families living in the Pacific are facing regular events of cyclones and flooding. People living with disabilities are among the most vulnerable groups in such emergencies. Implementing Partner: Anglican Overseas Aid (AOA) is an overseas relief and development agency of the Anglican Church of Australia. |
Link Report 2023
As Paul implored the church in Thessalonika to “ encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are.” 1 Thess 5:11, in like manner, Mothers’ Union branches encourage one another through their Link contacts. In these days when we are seeing numbers declining in our branches it is so good to share with others and learn what they are finding that is successful in their groups. Letters, cards, phone calls, emails or prayers, all are forms of connecting and are so valuable. Our Diocesan records indicate that we have 17 Links, 12 in the United Kingdom, 2 interstate, 2 in the Pacific and 1 in Canada. Attempts to forge links between suburban and country branches have not produced results yet.
Our annual Wave of Prayer opens our minds and hearts to others around the world. May Mothers’ Union branches continue to nurture existing Links and to seek opportunities to forge new ones.
