Debbie teaching at the mid-week service

Update for January

Dear friends,

New Year’s greetings to you! May this be a very blessed year as you continue to serve the Lord.

It’s fun to look out at the snow that has just fallen as it’s the first we’ve seen in a few years.

Many thanks for your prayers for us during the last month. It was lovely to celebrate Christmas with our families and catch up with a few friends. Thank the Lord too for help given to David when he preached at Coagh Baptist last Sunday.

Now we’re getting prepared for the work ahead of us this month. I (Debbie) will continue the series of Bible studies on First Peter at Ballynahinch Congregational during the rest of January. I’ve really known the Lord’s help so thanks for praying. We will also take the Sunday morning service at the Congregational on January 13^th as part of their missionary weekend. The 11^th January is the Ladies’ meeting at Donaghy Congregational and on the 23^rd we’ll be at Carndaisy Baptist for their Ladies’ meeting. We would appreciate your prayers for these opportunities to share what the Lord is doing in Kagoro.

David will take another set of classes next week which should generate enough essays and assignments to keep him busy for the next three months. I plan to start the Theological Educators course at Belfast Bible College on 4^th February.

The new MA in Theology programme starts at Kagoro this month so pray for those teaching in that course and the new students who have been admitted into the programme.

“Blessed (happy) is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.” Psalm 146:5. May we be encouraged as we enter 2008 that our help and our hope is in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Debbie and David
