9 September 2017

We are very grateful for Relazione 2017 a great Impatto Family Retreat. Here you can see a 75 second summary video!

We then had a lovely family time with Alex and Abi who visited us for a few days.

Will you please pray earnestly over the coming days:
- pray for a wedding in Sicily on Sunday, 10 September
- pray especially as we continue to search for a flat in Palermo and view several flats in Palermo on Monday

Events to pray for:
- 21-23 September: pray for M17 in Macedonia (an IM follow-up event to M16) with over 120 participants. I will be joining Scott Anderson (DG) and Dr. Tim Savage in speaking at that event.
- from 29 September to 8 October: Nancy Guthrie, accompanied by her husband David, will be speaking in several Impatto events for ladies.

Lots more to pray for. Lots of challenges to face. Lots of opportunities!

December 2010 - News update

Ouch! It’s quite painful to think how long it is since we’ve sent out news. Of course there’s the blog , and Facebook and Twitter .. but they’re not always updated. So here goes: an impossible task – to summarize many months in a few paragraphs! :)   In a few words? God is good!!! FAMILY: Annette continues to co-exist with M.E./CFS . Energy is still limited and she needs care to administer what she has. She has continued to develop her friendships locally as well as connecting as much as possible with friends in Italy too.  We are thankful for a measure of health and for God’s presence in times of questions… Rox has just turned 20! Hard to believe! In June she completed 3 (happy) years at College. These however had not done much to prepare her for the next stage of life. As we prayerfully explored the next step, and visited more than 10 places, we ‘came across’ a specialized college in a nearby town. All the staff is specifically geared to assist those with ...

Intense

Particularly busy period, this. But encouraging. Porterbrook Italia (Percorsi) has over 50 students now. Lots of encouraging feedback and interest further afield. Trying to keep up with revision of translations, staying connected with students and moving ahead... Trying to keep on top of the fiscal/administrative poject for missionaries in Italy. Big need. Lots of work. Out of my depth most of the time. Help! Thinking (and working) through Rox's next step. Big step. Need wisdom and clarity. All this to say: were it not for the Gospel, it would be too much. Sempre avanti!

Swamped?

No. Swamped is like: you're drowning. That's not the way it is. No way. Were this a personal, private enterprise, well yes: drowning. But what a comfort to know: - activities in no way define us - His work is what counts and lasts - we can REST in who He is - we can super-involve ourselves and fully enjoy it! So, swamped? Yes! Bring it on! Some of recent 'opportunities' - Annette meeting to open the Bible with a neighbour - JD trawling around schools and other places to set up opportunities for the upcoming Thanksgiving outreach - multiple pastoral conversations online - multiple organisational committee meetings online (relating to Italy and beyond! - super exciting...) - local pastoral input: conversations, visits, Bible teaching... Pray for several urgent needs: - additional help (long-term missionary couple, strong Christians to join our small church-plant, Italian interns?....) - more significant contacts with 'lost' people. Its great to ...
