News Update

Today Phyl celebrates her 65th birthday! Wow, where have the years gone? We are still in the UK and are just completing an interesting and helpful tour visiting several Churches and friends in the north and east of Britain. After many years we met up again with one of Phyl's earliest friends. They started school together in 1950! Here they are together after more than 60 years. We were very pleased with the 'reunion and information meetings' we had both in Yorkshire and Essex and it was so encouraging to find that some friends motored more than 100 miles to see us again! We also thank and praise the Lord for the kindness of those who have given us such generous hospitality during our time here.
We've still got room in Haus Barnabas over Christmas! Why not come and join us.

News Update

For some, Sunday afternoon walks in the autumn can be just as enjoyable as in the summer if you are dressed appropriately! In fact October this year has given us some wonderful sunny days with only a blip one weekend when snow fell and settled down to a height of 800 m. Guests returning from a visit to Titisee commented that the view of the lake was blanketed out by large flakes of driving snow. Although in general it has been a mild autumn.
Phyl & Len are at present in UK and have set up office in the dining room of the kind and longsuffering David and Margaret Harman in Ashford. We head north and east in the middle of next week for visits and meetings in a number of places including an open 'reunion and information' afternoon in Otley, Yorkshire. Join us if you are able at Bethel Hall, Myers Croft, Otley LS21 3JG at 3.30pm on Sat 12th Nov., or if it's closer in Basildon, Essex on Sat 19th at Kingswood Baptist Church SS16 5DH again at 3.30 pm. On this afternoon you are invited to join us in a bring and share tea followed by an evening session with missionary reports by both Len and also David Quin from Asia Link Ministries. Don't hesitate to email us if you want more information about these meetings.
