Hazelbank Church praised for 15 years’ Harvest support

Hazelbank Presbyterian Church in Coleraine has been donating its Harvest offering to the Zomba Action Project (ZAP) for the last 15 years.

Rev Terry McMullan, Treasurer of ZAP, thanked Hazelbank for their unfailing generosity. This year they donated the magnificent sum of £6,500. This was up 30% on last year’s total of £5,000.

Rev McMullan said: “£6,500 is a marvellous sum at any time, and all the more amazing when we remember that it was raised in the midst of the pandemic.”

The amount was enough to fund substantial projects in not just one, but seven villages. The largest project (£2,700) was at Mwaliwa village and funded a well and a pump. Goats, beekeeping equipment and a bicycle ambulance were also donated to the project.
