Together4Bristol : Christian Aid Newsletter

It's been lovely to meet some of you over the past month at meetings and conferences. I hope you have been inspired, as I have, to continue to stand up for the rights of the poor and work towards a more just and peaceful world. This month we've got two different partners visiting Bristol - do make sure you come along to hear how your giving, acting and praying is transforming communities in Iraq and Nicaragua.

With every blessing,
