See the Fall 2012 newsletter. Africa: As complex as you are broad… as beautiful as you are broken ARDF, our sister aid and development agency, sent two people to Africa in October 2012 to investigate conditions in South Sudan, Congo and Rwanda and check on projects. You can read the Rev Bill Haley’s impressions on his blog. Earlier posts written during the trip provide specifics with many interesting tales of their travels. He says Africa is “as complex as you are broad”, “…as beautiful as you are broken”. “Indeed, how you view Africa depends on what you see you, but more importantly, how you see. Seeing as a Christian, hope will always be deeper than the horror, love always deeper than the hate, God’s provision will always be more profound than the human deprivation, beauty always overcoming brokenness, light eventually but always piercing the darkness… Yes, there’s a lot of darkness on this continent. I won’t forget it soon. But I will also keep with me for a long time the example of God’s people here, by whose very presence and courageous and compassionate deeds, the light of Christ shines with hope. “ ARDF 2011 Annual Report, which includes ARDFC In his preface to the 2011 ARDF annual report, Archbishop Bob Duncan write, “Since the Fund’s inception in September 2004, ARDF, by God’s grace, has been working directly with the spiritually vibrant, but resource poor Anglican Churches around the globe. You have provided over $4.9 million in funding for 106 development projects. Through your generosity you have changed the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ in 32 countries strengthening our partnership with Anglicans world-wide.” See the full report (pdf) here.
