Thank you to everyone who joined our UK fundraising walks in May and June, as well as everyone who supported them.

Our southern walk, on the May Bank Holiday Saturday, took us through historic Wimbledon Park, Wimbledon Common, Richmond Park, Syon Park and along the Thames to Brentford for afternoon tea.

Then two weeks later our northern walk was a very scenic riverside and woodland circular from Bolton Abbey that blended natural beauty and cultural heritage with woodland and rural landscapes. And of course afternoon tea in the abbey grounds afterwards.

If you haven’t yet done so, please do support our walkers.

Money we raise will help fund a solar electric system for Grace & Light’s training centre in Jos.

This will give us a reliable and high quality energy and avoid the frequent and unpredictable cuts in grid electricity that Nigerians experience. Plus we will no longer need a polluting petrol generator for backup power.

We estimate this system will cost 22m Niara (£12,000). Being in the tropics with lots of sunshine, Nigeria has high solar generating capacity, reducing considerably the time it will take to recoup installation costs.

Prayer Requests

Please pray for:

• Further donations and grants so we can begin installation of the solar system.
