I first visited Africa in 1994 with Rosey and it had a profound effect on me. We felt challenged to do something practical to help communities there and, as a result, founded Christian Partners in Africa. It’s been quite a journey ever since and we have been privileged to get alongside those in African communities fighting for a better life for themselves and their families.

Through it all, we’ve experienced our fair share of successes and obstacles, but what inspires us is the resilience and humanity of the people we’ve met along the way. Their unwavering spirit in the face of adversity is humbling.

The people we have met and the changes we have seen over the years give us real hope for the future.
