We are pleased to say that we have just published our annual report for the year 2023.

It’s now 21 years since Rooted in Jesus was created for the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. During that time we have facilitated more than 200 training conferences for over 100 Anglican dioceses and denominational networks in 18 African countries. Rooted in Jesus has been translated into 50 languages, and Rooted in Jesus Junior into 10 – and more are on the way.

Over the years we have faced many challenges – how to finance it, how to staff it, how best to support it once it has been introduced. Demand for Rooted in Jesus seems to increase year on year, and we now find ourselves ministering in increasingly challenging places. In 2023 we were asked to run conferences in South Sudan, DR Congo, Mozambique and Madagascar – all countries scarred by conflict, afflicted by famine and often subject to devastating floods and cyclones.

It is, and has always been, a huge privilege to be able to make a small contribution to the lives of ordinary people in these often forgotten places. We could not do this without the support, prayer and active participation of many people – and as we head into another year we want to take this opportunity to say thank you: for all that is past, and for all that is yet to come.
