Going Home for Just Over a Month
Greetings! On 20th I’ll be back in England for just over a month. I can’t wait to see many of you socially or at talks / church gatherings.
I am really looking forward to having time with iNet to talk and pray through life here and hear what God is saying as I prepare to return at the end of July.

Ready to Jump?
Roger Cooke, CMS Ireland’s Regional Mission Partner for South Asia, asks if we’re ‘ready to jump’, as he encourages us to consider our response to God’s call.
“For Moses it was a burning bush. For Samuel, a voice in the night. Isaiah saw God seated on the throne, in all his glory. And then there was Mary, by the tomb, with the Gardener…”
Picture this ........ without pictures!
Drought and famine are words that we use from time to time, but what do they really mean for those who have to actually face these situations? 2009 will be the year of the famine for the Anglican Church in Kajiado – this is their reality.

Former CMS Mission Partner Honoured at Downpatrick Celebration.
Former CMS Mission Partner, Sheilagh Jebb, was recently honoured at a special event in Downpatrick.
‘Spirit of Patrick: Continuing the Legacy’ celebrated the lives of five key people in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Down & Dromore and was part of Down Cathedral’s 400th Anniversary celebrations. Sheilagh and the others were chosen because, in the Spirit of St Patrick, they have served in mission over an entire lifetime.
