Sunday

A really good day again. Each of us went to a different church today. My church was a church of 30 it was very humbling to take part.

After the services Simon and I went to the pastor's home for lunch – it was traditional Zambia food of nseema, greens beans and chicken - again very moving as they live in such humble circumstances and have few means themselves, yet they share so generously with us.

This afternoon we were involved in a big gathering of pastors and volunteers involved in the project. We met orphans and farmers and they gave testimonies about how the project has transformed their lives - wonderful to see! We are all less tired than yesterday - and looking forward to eating the 2 chickens we were given yesterday :) (See Simon's blog for that!)

Tomorrow we start with an official meeting with the district commissioner. Then we are out at Kashito community visiting schools orphans and farmers, which is an hour away . In your prayers please thank God we are all feeling well and positive. Thank God for the visible results and progress of the project. Please continue to pray for us. Much love Catrina.

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
