Let's work together: Prayer Focus July 2015

06/30/15 • 20 min

Last month saw two landmark days in the development of cross cultural mission work in the UK – with both African and Asian Christians emphasising this month's theme of "let's work together". At Lambeth Palace, CMS launched its Prayer and Aware campaign to throw the spotlight on mission to and from Asia and Asians. We hear from the Rev Rana Khan, chair of the CMS Asia Forum. The other landmark was the conference, held at CMS in Oxford, of Missio Africanus, an organisation we learn more about with CMS mission partner Harvey Kwiyani, who is originally from Malawi. We also hear from CMS Latin partner the Rev Ronnie Irene in Paraguay.
