Interested in going one step further and supporting an international Christian bookshop? With CLC’s ‘Shop in a box’ project, that’s exactly what you can do! This project takes shipping containers and converts them into bookshops with very low overheads so that they can eventually be self-sustaining in areas desperate for Christian resources. Currently, we are establishing a bookshop (as seen below) on the Scripture Union’s premises in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. If this is a project you, your house group or your church would be interested in supporting, why not visit the Stewardship’s secure online giving site below?
