Africa

These sketches and paintings come out of a number of trips to East Africa, working with SOMA - Sharing of Ministries Abroad. It has been an extraordinary privilege to go on such trips over a ten-year period, giving talks and seminars often in extremely remote areas. The sketches represent brief but precious moments snatched out of busy schedules, working with small teams. These have been at the invitation of local church leaders in the global Anglican network, to help bring leadership training, so they as leaders can in turn teach others.
