News Update





The past week with our guest preacher, Steve Wyncoll was a great time of fellowship and blessing. It was a full week of holiday activities and the pictures will bring back memories to many of you who have holidayed with us. But in addition to our regular daily morning devotions with Daily Manna, Steve brought us a message each evening from the life of Elisha.
To find out more of Steve's regular ministry in his home church in Waldingfield, Suffolk see his church's website www.waldringfieldbc.org.uk

We still have accommodation available in July and August so if you are still wondering about a holiday do contact us.

News Update

It has been a very enjoyable fortnight with our 'birdwatching and nature' theme weeks. In addition to the walks and outings the guests made by themselves I, Len, was able to accompany them on four occasions and we visited interesting locations rather less accessible by foot and public transport, the gorge of the river Wuchtach, the Kaiserstuhl and our more local Nonnenmattweihe where the picture alongside was taken. The rarer birds we saw were the hoopoe, bee-eater and redpoll on the Kaiserstuhl and two of our guests also had clear views of two ring ouzels on our local Belchen mountain.
We now have a new set of guests and have also welcomed Steve & Christine Wyncoll from Waldringfield. Steve is bringing us ministry each evening from the Life of Elisha. There doesn't seem to be any dull moments in Haus Barnabas and we praise the Lord for His daily help and encouragement.

The 'Pitsea Friday Club Family Week' was a further eventful time in Haus Barnabas. David & Christine Barnes, with Deb's help, led a children's session each evening for the 7 children in the house and the week closed with a garden barbeque, see picture, followed by a relaxed time together with an organised quiz and testimonies. There were 21 us in total and not all the adults were believers so we have been praying, and continue to, that the week will prove to be God's means of bringing all ages to truly know Him.
With Tim and Deb and children leaving on Friday 10th June for 2 weeks in the UK, Phyl and Len would value your prayers for all the strength, wisdom and grace we need to cover for them as well as our own daily responsibilities. We are grateful to have Vicky with us to help for most of the month and the picture above shows her with Tom and Esther at the barbeque, which was the day she arrived.
