News Update

August is proving to be a month for groups in Haus Barnabas supplemented with additional guests. We have appreciated and valued the fellowship and input from a group from Nicholaston House, Swansea, (see picture), and this week a group of 11 from Essex and Cambridgeshire. It's so rewarding for us to see our guests relaxing as they get into their holiday and in 'becoming themselves' better able to take in nourishment from God's Word in a sincere way from the daily devotions, and contribute through their prayers and spiritual conversation for the mutual blessing of all.

Of interest for many of our friends is that this year for the first time we have seen a kingfisher on the stretch of the Wiese river by our house. Guests taking a walk before breakfast have reported this two days running. They have also been thrilled to see a family of dippers.

We have been pleased to welcome Emily this week who is now due to be with us for about four months on a voluntary basis as part of her gap year. We trust and pray we will all be of mutual blessing to each other and Emily may have opportunity to improve her German language skills.
Dave is with us for about another two weeks and the two young people are working and relaxing together well. Patrick left us on Wednesday to begin a job in Bern.
