I am good to go (or at least to stay)


Hi all as you know the council met Tues night and they were going to discuss my finances (among other things) . I just got the good news that the council is happy to release me for service in Tramore (to start in January). Thanks to you all for your prayers and sacrificial giving and thanks especially to God for His provision. 


I still need your prayers and financial support but Praise and thank God with me for His provision, it seems extra appropriate as it is thanksgiving today too!!!!!

Back in Tramore

I am back in Tramore after a week and a half up north. Mum and I went up for my nephew's 2nd birthday and then I stayed on to share at some of the E.C.M prayer fellowships. It was great to share my story with and meet some of the faithful prayer supporters of the mission; it was an encouragement to meet these faithful prayer warriors. I stayed with my friends Jenni and Robert when I was up and it was great to spend some time with them (although I often snuck in late at night when they were in bed) and great to eat lots of Jenni's fab cooking too! I was also able to meet up/catch up with some friends and supporters including some missionary friends which was great. I also went to the E.C.M offices a couple of times to chat with Lourdes (she looks after the accounts) and to chat with Charlie (director of the mission) about the finances. The council meets on the 20th Nov and Charlie will present the accounts to them at that stage please pray they will have wisdom as they look at the accounts and as they consider approving me to start in January. The accounts are looking healthier than they did a few months ago but there is still a bit more to get. I thank God for His continued provision and I thank those who are praying and those who are giving, if you feel you would like to give please let me know ASAP (if you can) so I can add it into the accounts for the council (you can get the money to me later).
I arrived back to a VERY windy Tramore (the weather is calmer today) see the picture of me on the beach the other day!!
Now I NEED to sort my house I have visitors coming in 2 weeks so I need to get it in order for them but there are always way more exciting and interesting things to do!! I still have not unpacked very much at all and I need to get myself sorted out. Thanks for your continued support and prayers thanks Charis
