We live in a difficult and despairing world, and many of us understandably seek to settle for the safety and familiarity of an established lifestyle. We often close our eyes and ears to devastation and difficulty in the lives of people around us, be they family, friends or neighbours. The hope for the  Shipwrecks & Islands project is not just that it might provide food for thought, but also to offer comfort to those who are experiencing times of trial and testing. It is also an encouragement to those who might be able to help, yet have forgotten that simple words of encouragement and the smallest grains of faith and love can make a world of difference to others.
