On the 1st of October, Debi Armitage, our Child Sponsorship coordinator and St. Andrews Dibden church member, took to the streets in Jersey to run a marathon with an amazing pace of 5.31min/km. Debi writes:
“♥ THANK YOU ♥ also for all those who personally encouraged and supported me leading up to and on the 1st October when I took on the challenge of completing the Jersey marathon to raise awareness and funds for a maternity unit at Hope Gardens in Tamil Nadu, South India.”
There will be a more detailed thank you in the St. Andrew's newsletter in the weeks ahead - do keep an eye out for it, it's a wonderful read about God's provision for Debi and sustaining her throughout the run.
We are so grateful to Debi as she raised an incredible £1,110 for the maternity ward which is a wonderful life giving and life saving facility which we hope to start building in 2018. If you'd like to know more about our plans for the facility, please click the link here:

Well done Debi and a big thank you from Hope Gardens! xx
