The mission: walking alongside

The Rolletts are moving to East Africa with a specific and vital focus:

  1. Local partnership: working hand-in-hand with local African Christians
  2. Unity in witness: helping the local church work together effectively
  3. Interfaith presence: modelling a loving witness to neighbours of different faiths in the community

Church Mission Society has a long history of focusing on “people in mission”: sustainable, locally-led ministry rather than just short-term aid. Dave and Tricia’s move represents a deep commitment to this long-term relationship building.
