Meet Tricia and Rev Dave Rollett, heading to Tanzania to help followers of Jesus grow in their faith and work together to be a loving witness to their neighbours of other faiths.



🀝 The mission: walking alongside

The Rolletts are moving to East Africa with a specific and vital focus:

  1. Local partnership: Working hand-in-hand with local African Christians.
  2. Unity in witness: Helping the local church work together effectively.
  3. Interfaith presence: Modelling a loving witness to neighbours of different faiths in the community.

Church Mission Society has a long history of focusing on "people in mission": sustainable, locally-led ministry rather than just short-term aid. Dave and Tricia’s move represents a deep commitment to this long-term relationship building.


  • Hosts: Church Mission Society (CMS) and the Rt Rev Martyn Snow, Bishop of Leicester.
  • Special Guests: the Rollett family
  • Purpose: to learn, pray, and discover how to support CMS and the Rolletts' new chapter in East Africa
  • Vibe: informal, stirring, and prayerful (with plenty of tea!)
