Summer in the Cities

As a family we will be split up for most of the summer in our various cities, but will be coming together for the first ten days of August.

  • Lisbon - Please pray that God will enrich our time together in August as a family, that our home would be ooen to the friends that our kids bring along. That we would have a sense of the aroma of Christ in our home during this time
  • Brussels - Judith has been thinking for some time about changing her job, but really needs to know God's guidance as to how and when, wne what sort of work or ministry He wants to lead her into. In the meantime, she as enjoyed working with "Serve the City", playing touch rugby (recently in Paris!!) and just being with friends.
  • London - Wonderful news!! Sharon recently got engaged to Rohit Paul who attends Hillsongs with her, and also is a graduate of Central St Martin's like Sharon. Ro is currently developed his business as a branding consultant, both in London and in India, so marriage plans are still a long way off. Please pray for them as they seek God's guidance in their lives together
  • Southampton - after his first year in aeronautical engineering, Colin has been staying on the in city, working and settling into the new house he is renting with some other students. He does not have many friends around at the moment, so pray that he will not be discouraged and that God will use him there.
  • Lisbon - apart from the intensive language course (please pray for progress and concentration as we st exams again in the last week of July) we also have a three day kid's programme in the Park here. A Portuguese group, called Louv'Art will be with us using drame, mime and games to communicate the power and love of God. Please pray!
