Diocese of Sheffield. We officially partnered with the Diocese of  Sheffield in the United Kingdom in 2019. The Rt. Rev’d. Dr. Pete Wilcox was present at a Diocesan Synod held on 28th February, 2019 that affirmed the memorandum during his four days visit to the Diocese. The two dioceses have closely worked together to strengthen the partnership aided by our commonality. A team led by the Rt. Rev’d. Sophie Jelly, the Assistant Bishop of  Sheffield  & Bishop of Doncaster visited with the Diocese of Bondo between April 27th and May 3rd 2023 to continually grow the faith, network and share alternative ways of engaging in ministry. A return visit was thereafter made by the Diocese of Bondo between 10th to 18th July,  2023. The Rt. Rev’d. Prof. David Kodia in company of three delegates traveled to the United Kingdom for an exchange program to learn-unlearn-relearn.

The luncheon attracted a number of congregants among them Clergy serving in and out of the Diocese, Lay Synod members, invited guests, and friends of the Diocese. The occasion comes just a day after faithfuls celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Congregants purposed to gather, share a meal, and also present their thanksgiving gifts to aid in the completion of the synod plaza building ahead of its opening early in the year 2023. The proceeds of the luncheon will majorly focus on the installation of electricity and lifts . The Diocese continues to solicit funds till the tail end of construction work. It is our divine prayer that we will be able to realize our target for the opening of this ultra-modern commercial property in Bondo town.
