A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED OUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS THIS YEAR.

We raised £6114.

Over all the years since we began we have raised:

£91,000

and installed FIVE Gambian villages with bore hole, solar powered pumped water to above ground holding tanks with standpipes around the villages bringing clean water for personal health, agricultural use and livestock.

Additionally:

We have provided three Gambian schools with books, writing implements, cooking utensils and sports equipment.

We have provided the children with sliders to protect their feet.

We have provided the villagers with water carriers.

We have supported three students through University and College courses.

I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE  CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED  TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS,  IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.

"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth

 in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
