News Update

Our Easter Retreat Weekend

We, Len & Phyl, have been back in Haus Barnabas during February and important work this time of year is promoting our programme for the year and corresponding with guests and prospective guests. Alongside this news update is our schedule of special weeks planned for 2011 and we would like to encourage you to consider joining us in the Black Forest sometime this year. You will find a warm welcome anytime but maybe one of our special weeks will interest you. Tom Lori, a Jewish believer in the Lord Jesus and evangelist amongst his own people has a particular love for the Old Testament Scriptures and will be giving us several sessions on the life of Moses, under the title 'The making of a man of God'. Tom will also lead us in a passover meal explaining this and its significance too for New Testament believers. The picture albove is taken from www.churchisraelforum.com/A-do-it-yourself-passover.htm and the article: Celebrating Salvation - The Jewish Passover through Christian eyes. The whole Easter Retreat will be in both English and German and there are more details on our website.

News Update

Phyl & Len have been involved in a number of different meetings and 'reunions' in southern England during the past month and it has been wonderful to catch up with many friends and several church fellowships. The top picture show refreshment time at our Stanmore, London reunion and then the second the group of those who were able to join us at Duncan Road Church, Swanwick for the 'Pitsea Friday Club family week' holiday reunion. It's been so good and encouraging for us to meet up with so many of our past and future guests as well as long-standing friends and family members. The programme of food, games, memories and fellowship at the Swanwick reunion was organised by David & Liz McCann which we appreciated greatly. We expect to arrive back in Utzenfeld Monday evening 7th January.

Bookings for this current year are coming in encouragingly as also are offers of voluntary help. We have every reason to believe the Lord has an eventful and exciting year ahead for us and we value your prayerful support as we go forward to serve Him in it. The winter has been a lean time for us financially as it often is but we praise our Lord and Master that we can begin to see light at the end of a dark tunnel.
