Blythswood – November Update 2

Talita Kum

Please continue to pray for the children at Talita Kum as they progress in their new term.  The impact of these months of constant contact for the children with Romanian Christians cannot be over-estimated.

Pray for the two Blythswood Banat charity shops in south west Romania.  Pray that this work would continue to make a valuable contribution towards the costs of Talita Kum.

Daniel Centre

Pray for this year’s new boys at the Daniel Centre as they settle in.

Pray that they settle in well and have a good time with over over the coming months.

Barnabas Fund – November Update 2

Despite the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and her winning a parliamentary seat in April 2012, little has changed for Burma’s Christians. The military continues to pursue its agenda of intimidation, violence, rape and trafficking against ethnic minority groups, many of whom are majority Christian.

 

Aung San Suu Kyi has been coming under worldwide pressure in relation to the Muslims Rohingya and this has continued to dominate the news from Burma.  But in other ethnic minority regions the Burmese military has continued to intimidate and harass pastors and Christian workers, disrupt worship services and destroy churches.

 

Barnabas Fund assists with projects that help Christians in Burma (Myanmar), including:

  •  
  • Bible distribution,
  • support for orphans,
  • widows and refugees,

the construction of churches and Christian schools.

Jacksons – November Update 2

 

There was great rejoicing at Fraser’s first meeting with some of the NetAct people last week and thanks to God for a dream come true. He also has important meetings with the NetAct webmaster, with the College IT man and with the rector and dean of theology.  Please pray that these meetings will be productive

 

Thank God that we found a suitable little car in Cape Town on Monday.  We were flabbergasted at the efficiency of the SA police when getting proof of address before we could buy the car. It took a matter of minutes and didn’t cost a thing!

 

Another member of staff is currently living in the house where we’ll stay more permanently. He had hoped to move out weeks ago, but officialdom is not co-operating – a little frustrating for all of us. Please pray that we’ll all be able to settle in our respective houses as soon as possible.  

 

This area’s suffering its worst drought in decades, so please pray with us for some rain.

 

We shall probably settle in St George’s Presbyterian church. They do outreach work with Somalis near Cape Town and I see areas I could get involved in.
