Our Tickets are booked!!

It's been an eventful week and our tickets are booked. We leave for Romania on 2nd December and return on the 23rd! The cards need to be written, the presents packed, the house cleaned and the decorations put up before we leave. It is a also a priority that I get working on the Reaching Romania Christmas Greeting and update - our next full newsletter will be in January.

We had an awesome service at Almond Tree on Tuesday. We started with the hymn "Count Your Many Blessings" and it made us all take stock of our lives and how each day we should give thanks for the many blessings God bestows on us. This week I spoke on the Minor Prophets focusing on Jonah, the reluctant prophet and hero of the Sunday School classes. The Book of Jonah is powerful and reaffirms the enormity of God's love and compassion for His people. It shows us how God can use weak willed people to achieve His purposes - how He accepts us as we are but moulds us into who He wants us to become. Jonah became one of the greatest evangelists in the Old Testament - everyone he spoke to including the sailers who threw him overboard and the 120,000 Ninevites and their King came to the Lord through him. The service ended with us rejoicing in the Lord to "Oh Happy Day" - yes our flags were out again in thanksgiving! It is a real joy to be part of this Ministry.
