Nearing the End in Portugal

Hello! We've had a wonderful time here in Ersmesinde, near Porto, Portugal. We've been working with a church who are very missions-minded and really want to reach out to their area. We've been helping out practically ( as it's a new building there are a lot of little jobs to do), speaking at church meetings, painting children's faces in the park and getting to know lots of amazing people! We've been really blessed through the people in the church and all of their stories. There are missionaries from Switzerland, the USA, England and Brasil among the people who we've met and God's doing a lot here. 

A point for praise: last night the boys spoke at a meeting in a drug rehabilitation centre with the pastor, Samuel, and seven men gave their lives to Christ! On our last night of ministry God was still working!

We are now debriefing along with the other Transit Team, John and James from Lifehope and Neil Mason (the field leader of OM Portugal). Chris, Mike and Sarah will be heading home on Sunday morning and Marvin, Chorong, Elya and Hannah will be travelling with the van back to Lifehope and going to their different destinations from there.

Keep on praying as we go home and try to readjust to "normal" life, all except Marvin and Chorong who will stay on with OM. Thank you again for all of your prayers!

God bless!

London Has Been and Gone

In the last post we were still with David and Sharon in Spain. Since then we have driven to Porto in Portugal, flown to London, worked for w week with a church in Bromley, Greater London, and flown back to Porto. We had a wonderful time in Bromley (more details will follow). We are now working with a church here in Porto; taking part in their services, singing carols in the street and helping to clean the building.

Thank you for praying for us! We're on the home staight now, this is the last place that we'll be working, but  pray that we finish strong and that God gives us strength until the very end!
