News Update

The weekend May 24th - 27th was very busy but very enjoyable. Our booked speaker for the weekend conference on evangelism and local churches, Barry King, was unable to come at the last minute due to ill health but we were pleased to accept the offer of his son Ryan to take his place. Ryan has done this very ably, giving us four sessions on the nature, evangelism, ministry and fellowship of the local church under the umbrella theme of church planting. We have entertained up to 20 guests over the weekend from India, Switzerland, France, Austria, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England and with one local German gentleman joining us for our Sunday morning service.

With Deb and Tim in Kent for the school holidays we couldn't have run the conference weekend without help and the Lord provided this very adequately. We have been particularly thankful to Isobel for help in the house generally, Carol who has been helping with clerical work, and John with airport transport and DIY. The Lord is good and faithful.

During this past week, on Tuesday and Thursday, we have provided meals for two groups from the village which has nurtured contacts and friendships. Both evenings went well and as prayers were clearly answered at a practical level we trust to see spiritual answers also.

 I, Len, am extremely grateful to the Lord that I appear to have completely got over my operation and am able to do a full day's work without the old pain.
