CHRISTIAN MEDICAL FELLOWSHIP


On Friday evening, I attended a promotional event at Raigmore Hospital hosted by the Christian Medical Fellowship. The aim of the evening was to highlight the medical work being pioneered by the Vine Trust in the Amazon region of Peru. There was about 70 people there for the presentation. Hopefully, many of them will be inspired to link in with this great project. The key note speakers were Sian Jones, Iain Whyte and Philip Kiln (all from Hilton Church) and Calum Munro who was a member of our first workparty to Peru (and is now Educational/Expedition Director at the Vine Trust). They all spoke so well and shared about the differences that the project had made to their lives and to the lives of the Amazonian people. I felt very proud of them all. It us so inspiring to see the difference that can be made by just a few people deciding to do something together. You can find out more about the Vine Trust here
