Dear
all
This is just a brief
letter as we arrive back in Lubumbashi,
the link
letter will follow
towards the end of September. We have
been back for
ten days now - it is
good to be settled in one place again.
Our luggage
followed behind us
spread over a week, but eventually all got
here - the
one with the cheese
and bacon in it being the last!
Thankfully it was
still OK
It was good to get
the opportunity to meet many of you, quite
alot for
the first time, and
to be able to put faces and places to
names.
Peter and Atiyyah
are starting a new school here. We found
out while
they were at school
in England that they were behind their
contemporaries -
particularly in maths, hence our decision
to move
them. Fortunately
they are not the only ones to have moved,
so they
already have friends
there.
We have been very
encouraged by the progress our team have
made during
our absence and the
response of the churches they have been
working
with. They
conducted teaching leading to seed actions
in ten churches,
only two of which
have failed to take any action. More of
this in
future
letters.
Some prayer
requests please:
That Peter &
Atiyyah will settle quickly into their new
school and will
catch up in their
work.
That we will be able
to continue to build on the progress our
team have
made.
Our house in
Northumberland is presently without
tenants, please pray we
would get a new
tenant very soon.
With our best
wishes
Eric, Sandra, Peter
& Atiyyah
