An opening note

Dare I ask… how was your 2020?

I think we can dispense with “fine, thanks”! It was a challenging year.

I’m sure many of you will have had serious concerns of your own in the last 12 months.. However, you didn’t forget Innovista’s remarkable men and women who are working harder than ever to offer hope in such desperate times.

You shone a bright light into some very dark and broken places.

The church leaders we support faced unprecedented challenges, and yet, crucially, opportunities. You funded emergency coaching for them when many leaders didn’t know how to respond to Covid-19.

Through this, simple churches burst into life, reinventing themselves as hubs of hope and healing for whole communities. At a time when food, medicine and even a listening ear were in short supply, it was God’s love in action - doing new things in new circumstances.

I hope that the following stories will be a huge encouragement to you. You really are making a world of difference.

THANK YOU.

Jason Lane. International Director.
