Nestling in the lush green valleys of Northern Ireland’s County Fermanagh sits a beautiful church. St John’s, Killesher is a vibrant place of worship and we joined them earlier in the summer  for a special service of confirmation. We had asked if we could attend the church in order to say thank you to the congregation for a financial gift that we had received in order to bless the community of Tumaini. We spoke for a few minutes explaining how the money raised had been spent and how the people worshipping at Killesher had had a special impact on the people at Education for Life. We were taken aback at the end of the service when we were invited back up to the front of the church where we received another financial gift to support the work of Education for Life. We left that church reminded that ordinary people can have an extraordinary impact on the wider world – and reminded of Mother Teresa’s words. “We can do no great things-just small things with great love.”
