Annelies Barth – Church BMS Secretary

We are still in touch with Kathy Russell, who used to work as a Baptist Mission Worker supporting the legal work in Mozambique, but is now working as a lawyer for Aboriginal families in Australia. We continue to pray for her every month. The Aboriginal people still don’t have the same access to justice as white Australians. Aboriginal families often struggle to raise their children, because they themselves were forcibly removed from their families and institutionalised or adopted by white families – something that went on until the 1970s. Kathy and her team support these families, when social services rule that their children have to go into foster care. They help them help break this vicious circle.
