Even if working with very thin resources, here's a way that you may help build up the 
ministry for and with Catholics of African descent. Let your prayers, reflections, book 
reviews and best practices encourage colleagues and inspire partners in mission. Guided by the Holy Spirit, won't you gather some reflections to share words that will help to advance the mission of the Church for us by us (FUBU)?
