We're off!

HI everybody - we write this while waiting for the departure at gate 5

What a send off - we are so grateful to all our friends for commissioning us and endorsing what we are doing.

We finally packed at 1.30am today and Mum and Dad and Steve & Gail sent us off at 5am after a few hours sleep- thank you so much

The events of the last week show God's timing

We pulled our house sale on tuesday last (7 days ago) we received another offer on the same day the surveyor came on thursday we tried to buy a house thursday it was taken off the market. The prospective owners of 27 came round on saturday, we offered on another on saturday pm and finally heard 5.45pm Monday we have an offer accepted for a Carlisle home

Amongst that there have been many tearful goodbyes with some much encouragement all round

Thank you to those who have prayed and those who support we need you all

We set off in a tired state but full ofconfidence that God is calling us.

Wewill keep you posted!

First is 10 days in Germany foe a GO conference where we get training in cross cultural stuff and who knows what

20th Jan we fly to Hong Kong and Manila to join the ship

Hope everything is going well on the ship and no-one is seasick! Sheffield is very cold with slushy thin snow, you are not missing anything here! Will keep praying for you. Zxx
