News update


The Lord has graciously provided for us to order a 1 year-old 7-seater Renault Espace Grand. We now await it's arrival from Renault! With Tim and Deb and family leaving for the UK on Wednesday it would be very convenient for it to arrive by Tuesday afternoon although our garage doesn't give much hope of this. We'll see!

Among our guests this week have been a Baptist couple pastoring a church in Cumbria. What is encouraging is that their contact with us arose through a friend who has been circulating all the email addresses on a website of British churches recommending us on the basis of his own holiday at Haus Barnabas. Thank you Jeff.

On Sunday mornings I'm beginning to preach a series on Revelation. Today was chapter 1:7 – 'Look, He is coming with the clouds .... '. John uses the present tense for this statement. Although written 2000 years it was present then and is still present today. Jesus is coming back again! All that He has been doing and is doing is in preparation for His coming and in this sense it is the present tense; He is on the way! Are we living and working towards this too?
