Alive and Well ...

I am alive.

I am not writing this from heaven.

We are back in the Philippines.

No, there's nothing to worry about.

Yes, we have had Internet problems.

Yes ... we had a great holiday ...

... in fact we had a superb holiday! We loved it so much. At 'Care for Mission' (a great place where missionaries go for medical 7 spiritual check up's when they come back to UK), they said to us that a holiday is not a holiday unless it is for at least 3 weeks! One week to wind down one week to completely chill and one week to prepare for coming home! I never really understood the importance of this until now.

We didn't make the three weeks .. but even two was great! We spent time in Manila -very familiar and very relaxing. then we were off to Hong Kong - the kids (big and small) really enjoyed Disneyland HK. Superb. Then it was over to Singapore for 5 nights. The zoo is the best ever; the science centre was amazing .. but teh conference of Heidi Baker was the highlight of the trip. Mary loved it.

We flew our Social Worker Marilyn over for the Conference and they both had a ball. Heidi was so challenging and we were in the same hotel as her. She is consumed by serving God and living in his presence ... on and off the platform!

Since coming back it has been non stop. Great opportunities are being presented to us almost every day! I never understood what 'the reaper shall overtake the sower' until now. We are coming into a time of abundant harvest!

I have made a little YouTube video about our ministry in the hospital. Enjoy it and be challenged. I will give more details later. I will catch up this week with all the happenings at Sefton Village ... promise!

There are some blogs (some old some new) from Sefton that you should look at and bookmark. They will also help you piece things together.
