It may seem bizarre to many that goats are one of the main sources of mission, but without any doubt the gifting of goats by the church to the most needy in the parish has brought many new faces into church. The focus has been on parishioners, but it was also brought to our notice that many of the catechists were also struggling financially and maybe they too might benefit from receiving a goat. They have always put their parishioners first, and never considered themselves to benefit from these gifts. CHI gave 118 goats for them in August. By November some goats had given birth and 9 female goats had been passed on. The catechists were thrilled to be remembered.

Spreading the Word … one gift at a time

Your generosity, be it £3 for health insurance or £40 for a goat and anything in between, will be bringing hope to those who receive these gifts, and reinforces our Christian mission to share the Gospel and bring spiritual hope.
