Living for the Lord; addressing peace and injustices in the world
One of the things that excites me about being part of ANiSA is that we can create spaces for dialogue engaging issues that affect us every day and finding ways of making the Bible practical in our daily lives. It is important for us to walk together so that peace, development, dialogues and simple living as Christ would expect can be sustained.
