Beckie has been looking for a new secretarial position for some time and thankfully the Lord has provided one. She’ll be working for the local Council at a training centre for education consultants. She finishes her current job on the 2nd of September. We are looking forward to a visit from Beckie’s twin sister and her husband for a week and then Beckie starts the new job on 14th September. Thank you for your prayers for her continuing testimony to those she’s leaving behind and those people she’ll be working with soon.
The challenging economic climate (Laura has tried to explain quantitative easing but with limited success as far as her mother is concerned) causes us to once again be humbled by your giving to allow us to minister through you here. May God continue to supply your needs.
