In the joy of the Resurrection Jesus says:
“Go out to the whole world!
Go out to my people
Everywhere!
Draw them into God’s life.
In the name of the Father,
the Son the Holy Spirit.
Bring them into the heart of God’s family.
I am with you.
Yes, always, to the end of the world!”
And we say:
“Here I am Lord, is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you send me,
I will hold your people in my heart.”
(Isaiah 6:8; Hymn Daniel Schulte)
“Only 20 years ago!” This beautiful grove of Teak trees was planted in 2001 by a member of the Friends of the Trees in Idomaland in Benue State Nigeria. The Friends were a group of young people who came together to research the trees of Idoma, learn about their value from their elders and proudly publish their findings. There are several such groves planted by them. Teak (Tectonis Grandis) is a fast-growing tree of hard wood suitable for building and furniture.
