Moderator Visits World Mission Fund Project
Tuesday 9th May 2017The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Right Rev Dr Russell Barr, recently visited Kenya to see how fundraising by BB & GB Companies in Scotland is helping young people in the East African country.
Last session’s ‘Kit for Kenya’ World Mission Fund Appeal raised £10,000 to help provide much needed uniform for BB and GB members. During his visit, Dr Barr paid a visit to the Presbyterian Church of East Africa’s new Brigade centre at Ngenda, which is only the start of exciting plans for the future of the Brigade. The Moderator also handed over the cheque on behalf of BB & GB Scotland.
Commenting on his trip, Dr Barr said “As well as a cheque from the Brigade in Scotland (£10,000), I brought gifts and a letter of greetings and good wishes from Bill Stevenson, the Brigade Secretary. We all helped to plant a number of trees in celebrations of our visit and over lunch I had the opportunity to meet and chat with some of the most delightful youngsters you could hope to meet. It was so good to see the Brigade continues to offer activity, friendship and a sure and steadfast anchor for young people today.”
