Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ
The Bishop of St. Albans harvest appeal: The Bishop’s Harvest Appeal for 2024 is ‘Thrive: Nutrition and Sustainable Agriculture in Sri Lanka’, in partnership with The Leprosy Mission. The Appeal will support a project run by Reverend Joshua, who helps families affected by leprosy, to start their own vegetable gardens. The project brings people together for community meals to learn about nutrition and break down the stigma against people with leprosy. The money raised will provide plants, seeds, coconut trees and tools so that families can grow their own food and build a sustainable income. It will also support Rev. Joshua’s community meals. As we prepare for the harvest festival in autumn, let us consider how we would like to support this appeal. Our contribution will go a long way in providing much needed assistance to the families and communities affected by leprosy. This is also our way of thanking God for what he gives us each day. May God help us to be faithful to act in solidarity with other people at moments of their greatest need.
Rev. Jairo Nyaongo
