The sparse yet diverse nature of Cumbria and the North East of England provides opportunity for gospel partnerships between local churches.

In this episode of In:Dependence, Joel Murray (FIEC Communications and Media Officer) is joined by our Director for Scotland and the North of England, Andy Hunter, to talk about life, ministry, opportunities, and challenges in Cumbria and the North East of England.
