On 3rd March 2008, Ian and Carol Smith visited the community at Mongo where construction work on a new Primary School was about to start to replace the ancient and dilapidated buildings currently used by the pupils. The buildings are still in use and there are still three classes that take place under trees.
But not for much longer…

July and August are shaping up to be two of CMS Ireland’s busiest months – and there’s not a beach ball or sun lounger in sight!
In the next two months: almost 100 people will be taking part in teams to Nepal, Egypt, Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya; we have short-term placements placements in Zambia and Uganda; and a host of volunteers will descend on Belfast and Dublin for ‘Summer Madness’ and ‘Urban Soul’.
So if you want to play your part in what’s going on then get praying for the teams, individuals and churches who’ll be working with CMS Ireland this summer…
What exactly does a Regional Mission Partner do? I thought it might be useful for you to know what the job entails. It certainly has been a jam-packed year so far for me, but also a year of exciting challenges and encouragement.

So for about the first time 10 years I won’t be taking part in CMS Ireland’s venue at Summer Madness...
It was a bit weird not to be involved last week – when Julie and the Regional Mission Partners were beginning their preparation for the festival…but I have to be honest…it was also pretty liberating…

Advertising posters can catch one’s eye while sitting in a Kampala traffic jam staring into space. “Big bums quick” caught the eye of Rory and stimulated a reflection on growth and development in Uganda.

We are coming home for a leave of 4 months from early July.
Hopefully we will catch up with many of you over those 4 months and we look forward to seeing friends and family and visiting our link churches over that time.
