Profits and Donations to St. Andrews Model Railway Club St Andrew’s supports the selfhelp groups connected to Kale Heywet Church, Ethiopia. Tearfund has emailed: Dear Supporting Churches We often thank God for your compassion and cheerful giving to support poor and disadvantaged people in Ethiopia. May God bless you as you have blessed others! In recent months the Church and Community Mobilisation for Development programme (CCMD) has been expanded to new areas and has had encouraging results. The programme aims to help church leaders and congregations to look beyond their church walls and use the resources they have to positively impact the lives of the poorest in the surrounding communities. It starts with workshops for church leaders and full-time staff. They then run workshops for their congregations, supported by IUDD staff. One possible outcome of these workshops is that local churches decide to start Self-Help Groups in their communities amongst the poorest of the poor. Workshops are also held for local government officials so that they understand what is happening when they see this kind of activity taking place in their area and can be supportive. In the last few months we have focused on three Ethiopian regions - Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP), and Dire Dawa Administrative City. In total, across all churches, 200 new Self Help Groups were formed in the last three months. As part of the workshops the participants conduct a survey of their local areas. It is not uncommon to find that there are 250 families living in poverty in the communities around each urban church. We find that after several years of involvement in Self Help Groups, 60% of those who participate would say that they have become self-reliant, able to be independent and are no longer in poverty. In recent months we have hosted visitors to our programme - both domestic and international visitors have met Self Help Groups. MA students are also noticing the CCMD approach. One wrote a thesis entitled “the CCMD approach and its impact on the sustainable development in Ethiopia”. It is a great step forward to get endorsement of our work from beyond the church arena. There are also cases where local government has encouraged and specifically licensed some churches to have community involvement. Please pray for all of the churches that are doing church and community mobilisation workshops at the moment: For church leaders to grasp the vision and to be active For congregations to be enthusiastic For local government groups to be supportive For the poor in their communities for whom daily life is a struggle And that the programme will be a means for people to come into God’s kingdom.
