The 12 Gifts Of Christmas: Day Twelve
On the twelfth day of Christmas, the Church in Burundi gave to us... The gift of inspiration to actively rebuild our churches. What does rebuilding the church mean for your congregation and community in the midst of the C-19 pandemic? Perhaps beginning a prayer group or committing your time to areas of ministry.

On the ninth day of Christmas, the Church in Uganda gave to us... The Gift of discovering our calling. We discover our role in life through our relationships with others! You were created by God for a specific role and that is what makes you unique, different and special.

12 Gifts Of Christmas: Day Eight
On the eighth day of Christmas, the Church in Burundi gave to us... A gift of considerate ministry. The Church in Burundi is experiencing amazing growth. When we asked Bishop Aime Joseph how churches in Ireland could be more effective in bringing the Good News to their communities, this is what he said: ‘The contexts differ but God remains the same.
