News from Jane Shaw (our Mission Partner)

"Greeting from Lahore! After my four months in the UK I am safely back "on station" It's good to be back, and I have been very warmly welcomed.

I was absolutely overwhelmed by the generous welcome and encouragement which all of my supporting churches in the UK gave me - and for the hospitality which I received. It was really humbling but also uplifting for me to realise how constant you are in prayer for me and the Bishop Rocky Chapel. This means so much to me, and I was warmed and heartened by your love.

On returning it was also good to find that I now have neighbours - a Dutch Speech Therapist working in the school for learning difficulties just across the yard and her husband. The Bishop also arranged to have my flat redecorated and some repairs done in the kitchen

I have found the chapel core group in good heart, and some members have been stars - two people have preached for the first time. Other families, however have been much less regular and need following up. There's plenty to work on and to plan.

Please thank God for so many blessings
A good time in the UK and much encouragement
A safe return and a wonderful welcome from my church
Improvements in my flat, especially internet broadband.
Please pray with me for my continuing health and safety and for God's continuing guidance and help - and especially:
Encouraging more chapel members in sharing the leading of worship and preaching
Supporting the hospital during the management "inter-regnum"
Picking up my Urdu study again after a long gap.
