Team Koinonia Trust 10km Walk along the Wild Atlantic Way
I’m excited to share that Team Koinonia Trust will be participating in a 10km walk along the beautiful Atlantic Way in Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo on Saturday, the 30th of 2025. This event aims to raise crucial funds for Koinonia Trust, a charity with significant ties to Ireland and vital projects in Liberia.
Every penny raised will go directly towards the charity’s essential work. This includes covering running costs, supporting community sewing workshops that will welcome new students in September, and funding a community football team that will also resume training in September. Additionally, funds will help establish new Trauma Healing Groups and contribute to ministry costs for 2026.
