Highlight 4: Extraordinary Women

Mrs Leah Mutala

Leah is a most extraordinary woman - the sort of woman you would go anywhere just to hang out with her - observe her, learn from her.
She works for The Evangelical fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) our partner in Zambia.She is the Programme manager for our project in Serenje, leading her team of Rita and Mumba. She coordinates what we are doing in Serenje - the Pastors fellowship and Alex (our worker on the ground)all report to her.
When Mrs Mutala goes into each community she has a God-given gift of absolutely knowing where they are,who they are and what they need from her in terms of leadership. She can be stern, directional, funny - she relates to the women, to the men, to he youth. She is called "Mum" in the communities and is held in very high regard everywhere she goes - whether Government officials or Village farmers. In short - they ALL LOVE HER! Watching her is an inspiration and I've already learnt so much from her. I wish I could spend longer with her - and if you met her, you would too!
She is God's woman for this time and for Serenje. She truly seizes the moment!
Please pray for her - she has huge influence,with an enormous job to do but she is one (human!) woman with a life and a family!
She is a very special lady.

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story: Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come! Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!) Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and can
