Introduction

Since the fortieth anniversary of Christ for Rural Areas Ministries was celebrated in 2018, the Lord has not left His work standing still. What began in a rural schoolroom in 1978 has continued to press outward — into new fields, new nations, and new generations of labourers — even as the Ministry has marked further milestones along the way, including its forty-fifth anniversary in 2023.
