News from the Leake family in Argentina

Andrew and Maria Leake are based in in Salta, in our link diocese of Northern Argentina, where Andrew’s father and grandfather were missionaries among the Indian peoples. SAMS Mission Director, Bishop Ken Clarke, recently spent time with them when he was visiting the diocese.

Andrew works with Land for Life, Fundación Refugio, serving these indigenous people, especially in issues of land rights and deforestation. He also carries out consultancy work for other organisations.

In his latest newsletter Andrew shares about his recent travels, a near miss on the roads and the family’s plans for July and August.
