Today we had our farewell at church....it was a combined comissioning service and celebratory lunch. We thought it was fantastic and were greatly blessed.


We have been constantly touched by the love which has been shown to us by the wonderful people of Dereham Baptist Church of which we are a part, and we give glory to God because of it. The encouraging words, the generous gifts and the much needed and appreciated prayers continue to blow us away as an amazing outworking of the Lord's love displayed through his people. THANKYOU.



So...how are we? Well... feeling pretty nervous actually. As going to Brazil becomes an ever closer reality for us so does the fact that we will miss many people here in England, although the Bible does say in Luke 18v29-30: "I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life." And in this we draw comfort! The children are not keen on going at the moment but are willing to go. Beckie and I are looking forward to stepping on Brazilian turf and heading to the place where God has called us.



Did you know God is calling people all of the time? Do you hear Him? Would you say 'yes' to His calling...no matter what the cost? There is a world of dying people out there and He wants to use you as His willing servants to bring in His Kingdom on Earth. What about the person you share an office with, see on the playground, live next door to...have you made them aware that there is a sure and certain hope in Jesus - freedom from sin, newness of life and a relationship with the Mighty Creator of the world? C'mon...let us stop living our lives for ourselves and live them for Him.



It is likely that our next post will be when we are out in Brazil and this will be dependant upon internet availability so please be patient, please pray for us and trust in God.
