Christian World Service paid tribute to Rob Wayne, its colleague of many decades, who died suddenly in March. His memorial service filled the Transitional Cathedral in Christchurch.
Partner organisations he had worked alongside in Fiji, Tonga, Sri Lanka, Uganda, South Sudan and across Asia sent messages remembering his kindness and patience, and his long work with some of the world’s poorest communities.
