So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before GOD and man (v16)
Good morning all ..... if there is anyone out there reading this other than Andrew!
What a pity so many are unable to attend our pre-Christmas communion and fellowship this evening. Let us ensure that we make a concerted effort to make this happen sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, I pray we keep Our Lord close to our hearts and the Holy Spirit guiding us in every step as we are 'pulled' into the busyness of this season ;)

Hi Gemma...I'm reading :)
I thought I would inlude the most recent correspondence from Heidi from their blog dated 7th December...
Here is a little bit of our news. I have been extremely blessed by your love and prayers for Rolland and me and for our Iris family. We are focusing on beautiful Jesus and trusting Him for His healing power to be manifested. Rolland is still very ill, but he is receiving lots of healing prayer and anointed help from medical doctors as well. We thank you all for your patience in the area of communication. We are not able to respond quickly to emails. Please know we appreciate your kindness.
I am thrilled to be home with all my friends and beautiful children in Pemba. My heart is filled with joy seeing the fruit in this movement God has birthed through His Holy Spirit. Our mission school is an absolute delight. I see the love of Jesus poured out all over this place. The student’s hearts have become so abandoned and surrendered to God.
This past sizzling hot Sunday in Cabo Delgado, we worshipped in the dust and surrendered ourselves again as a movement to feed the poor bread from heaven and bread from the earth. It is time for greater multiplication. As we release the sons and daughters into their harvest of fruitfulness, we see greater glory. As pastor Supressa says, “the joy never ends”. I was thrilled to be able to do some of my favorite things this week: Baptize the new Makua and Makonde believers in the ocean; bless the missions students to live in the Ezekiel 47 river of God; and have a huge holy chaos Christmas party with all our gorgeous children !!!!! What a tremendous gift for me to be able to come home. There were plenty of gifts, candy and pops for all. I thank God for all the amazing people who made it all possible. Swimming with the kids and aunties splashing around in our warm turquoise ocean, I felt the Father’s heart. He smiled on us!
Thank you again for your generous support. Please don’t stop praying. We need you. I will be going to America to spend time with Rolland and my family later this month.
Much love in Jesus,
Heidi
Hi Gemma and Andrew and the others who are visiting this blog - and they do!
Right now you are on your ways home or to bed...
Acts 24. The simple sentence V 24 "After two years went by in this way, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus"
2 years held pending ? Trial, Decisions...? powerless to change the human circumstance Paul found himself in.
Look - we know that God could have changed that in a moment - as he did a number of times with Paul.
But the lesson? Sometimes we will feel fettered and unable to move forwards. With no control over our circumstances. Having to wait and trust God. Dont fret - make the most of the opportunities under your nose - right where you are!
Thanks Rosaleen. Another good point!
