A Humbling Day

Yesterday was a humbling day for the team in Serenje.

 They were overwhelmed by the fantastic welcome of singing and dancing that they received at Kanksoso  school - in Catrina's words "nothing can prepare you for that, so emotional and powerful!"
 There were heart stopping moments when the children, so excited to each receive their pencil given by the children of Sandy Lane School, then also asked if they might have the empty box and wrappers to keep!... Even the smallest things in life that we take for granted - smaller even than a pencil- its wrapping- can mean so much, and the children of Sandy Lane School chose to make a difference! Hooray for Sandy lane!!

 It was so exciting to see children back in school and to meet families who now have food! GOD IS GOOD!

 Today

 Today the team visit the plot of land where we are planning to build the Girls Dormitory and then go on to visit more families in Mwasakano and Chilisha. They may also see some more goats!!

 Remember them in your praying today. Pray that they will see continued progress being made and more evidence of lives changed for God's glory!

 Have a great Saturday whatever you're about.

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
