December Prayer Update

Finishing Enroute

This Saturday Katy and I bid farewell to ten other members of our enroute course, who are all now heading off to their various places of calling, from Argentina to Ethiopia! We became very close to these guys over the last month and it was sad to see them go.

Katy was not so sad to say goodbye to the moustache I had been nurturing during the month of ‘Movember’ - I can't think why! 

Christmas Market

We have been running Katy’s stall again down in a wintry Greenwich Market this week. It's been a great place to spot Christmas presents when business is slow. 

Link Visits

Veteran Cars outside Immanuel, Streatham

Last month we enjoyed our visits to two of our link churches Immanuel, Streatham and St Mary’s, Charnwood. We had a slow but entertaining journey through London on our way to Immanuel as we were caught up in the London to Brighton veteran car run. Despite an average speed of four miles an hour we were pulled over by the police on suspision of having stolen our car – it must have been the extra facial hair!

The Neema Crafts Centre

While back in the UK for their furlough, Andy and Susie Hart have been working tirelessly to raise the support they need for a new guesthouse at Neema Crafts. When they arrived back in September their target was £50K, they are now only £5K off this figure (PTL!). The guesthouse should encourage much-needed tourists through the centre.

It is well worth viewing the latest short videos about Neema Crafts on the Vimeo website: http://vimeo.com/15281476

Prayer and Praise:

• Praise God for our tutors on the en route course who have supported us so well and for all of the top quality teaching we have received over the last 10 weeks
•  Praise God for helping Andy and Susie to raise money for the guesthouse.
•  Thank God for all the woodworking tools people have been generously passing on to us for the new workshop – pray this continues!

• Pray for all those heading out to their mission fields after Christmas, that they would be protected and sustained in their work.
• Pray for Andy and Susie Hart as they prepare to head back to Neema in January. 
• Pray we choose the right courses to study in our second term at ANCC.

Thank you for taking the time to pray for us and the work of Neema, you are a vital member of the team.

Love Ben and Katy X
