Pamoja

Just after Christmas Geoff and 3 Namibian students went to the Ivory Coast for a 7 day Campus Crusade student leadership conference. Not only did it provide a unique cultural experience but excellent teaching from Josh McDowell and others, a great envisioning of students and staff alike and the opportunities to connect with others from the movement around Africa. Do pray that all the students who attended, particularly our Namibian students, Steve, Kauna and Selma, would take back to their home countries the vision, ideas, knowledge and encouragement they received.

Our trip down south!

With the offer of free accommodation just behind Table Mountain and the easy, if long, drive south to Cape Town who could resist to spend Christmas in this beautiful area? With sandy beaches, stunning scenery, gorgeous weather and Mum and Dad to meet us, what a treat! Jealous?! It came at a perfect time when we were in need of much rest after a busy but satisfying year. Here are a few pics to feast your eyes. The last is of Fish River Canyon, one of the largest in the world and located in Namibia on the way down to Cape Town.

Happy New Year

Birthday Girl

Emily turned 8 on 5th November. How did our daughter get so old?! She celebrated by going to see 'Up' at the cinema with Mum, Dad and bro followed by pizza, and then having a 'Flowers and Butterflies' party with 13 other girls the following Saturday. Lots of fun had by all!

A recycling outfit

Emily's school had a 'reading' week which focussed on recycling and at the end of it they all had to dress in material that could be recycled. Thought you might like to see Emily in her costume.

Giraffe for Christmas?

Dressing up a child as a giraffe for an end of year/Christmas concert is a first for us! Here's Nathan though. A picture to show he really has fitted well into Namibian life!

New Birmingham Office

The story is incredible. Our headquarters in the UK were given 28 days to move site after being in that location for many, many years. Within just 48 hours a new venue was found, and just look at what God has provided! Right in the centre of the city, God has given an office space attached to the cathedral there. Thank God for his provision and pray for the staff in Birmingham, particularly the office staff, as they attempt to move their workplace elsewhere in the next 23 days!
