More Extraordinary Women


These are some of the women that we met on the Training day in Serenje Boma. They come from a variety of local Churches and are mostly the volunteers that go out into the communities to support the vulnerable families. They are the people on the ground. Many of them also live with very difficult situations - some are living with HIV; many care for orphans from their extended families; some are widows.All of them know what it is to work hard.
You'll see that some of the ladies are holding letters - Zoe and I were swamped by ladies with letters, all asking for pen pals from the UK!
What we want to do is for women from Kerith to write to these and other women, and link up primarily as Prayer Partners. The practical details are yet to be finalised -and I'm going to need someone else to head it up for me (please!)However, it's likely that we will send letters out from our community 4 times a year. The letters will be sent all together to the Serenje communities - with information about us, some greetings and prayers.We'll be able to write to different women each time. perhaps some Lifegroups or other small groups in the Church can commit to writing letters too.
Connecting and reaching out to women in Zambia will be such a powerful expression of love , both for us and for the Serenje women. So I'm excited to think that a new Unique ministry will be birthed - and I'm praying for the right leader!
We are blessed to be a blessing.

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

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a  summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately  choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak
