We will have meetings with Christians along the way to tell them about, and to pray for, persecuted Christians. I know that churches will open their doors to us.\u201d<\/em>Robert de Berry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our chief goes over the edge!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June our Chief Executive, Mervyn Thomas, goes over the edge &#8211; literally!
