						integrity and accountability in achieving LBW
						goals. The second half of the year saw greater
						freedom in restrictions which allowed for our
						first physical trips in two years. We have
						continued to use the virtual methods that we
						embraced due to the pandemic and have
						started to work out hybrid means of cross-
						continental work that use both virtual and
						physical means. All LBW activities in this period
						continued to be performed in conjunction with
						local, indigenously led churches that we have	a
						connection with. These good works in turn
						naturally warm people to the church, empower
						significant community members, with the
						result of advancing the Christian message and
						hope to others within the community that the
						good work is performed in. Also, specific
						activities that have contributed to this include:

		Increased numbers ofsponsorship

		also raising funds for ongoing

		conference for teaching, fellowship and
		vision setting,

		project to continue through continued
		grant funding we received.

		that they will be returning to in South
		Sudan. Our second scheme runs in
