The Rev. Dr. Patricia Tull has been working since 2016 with the Rev. Tom Ochuka, bishop of environment and health for the Africa Inland Church in Kisumu, Kenya, to support tree planting, environmental education, and health services in his community. Presbyterians for Earth Care has been a supporter of the partnership since its inception.  Both PEC Treasurer Jo Randolph and PEC Coordinator Mindy Hidenfelter recently returned from traveling with a small group from the U.S. to Nairobi and then on to Kisumu, Kenya, the location of the conservation projects carried out by the God’s Green Resourceful Earth team.   To learn about the God’s Green Resourceful Earth partnership’s background and mission, please read recent posts on the Inhabiting Eden blog written by Trisha Tull HERE.
