On August 16th, a horrifying incident unfolded in Jaranwala, Pakistan. Christians living in the area became the target of an attack following an unfounded accusation against two young believers of Quran descent. The scale and quick escalation of the attack was shocking with over 24 churches vandalised and burned, and over 300 homes destroyed; even graves were desecrated.
Our friends over at Bunches, Dan and Dani, recently went on a trip to Malawi with their daughters. It was an amazing experience for them as a family.
We had such an amazing time at Awaken event run by Ground Level. It was so good to catch up with old friends and meet new ones!

We are so excited to be off to Awaken event in Lincoln over the August Bank holiday!
