The people & groups of Mahabba Network
Who's who in Mahabba is ultimately about the everyday Christians in local prayer groups, building relationships and sharing Jesus where they are.
However, to keep the cogs turning within the charity, there are a handful of teams including promotion; resources; witness and nurture; admin support, trustees and the leadership team.
These teams try to be as unobtrusive as possible to keep the focus on the grassroots movement.
Local Mahabba groups
There are around 70 groups dotted around the UK, each with its own “local coordinator” who acts as the point-person who brings people together for prayer and action. The local coordinator is first port of contact if you want to get in touch with the nearest group to you. The coordinator leads the Mahabba group; coordinates its different activities; and relates with local church leadership.
Find out where your local group is and get in touch.
The Hub
