Storytime at IMC

This is an impromptu gathering of the Holder and Roper children for bedtime stories at IMC. It was fantastic, and shows how good a time the children have been having here. It's very exciting to see, but also sad as we know it will come to an end soon. Please pray for Isaac, Daniel and Sophia, cos they will mis each other.

Now that we have had our BMS Christmas, it is time for other celebrations. Daniel was 4 at the end of October, and he had 2 parties in Selly Oak and Enfield. He had loads of fun, and we can't believe that he is 4 already! We are blessed to be training with some very talented people, including Sarah who makes amazing cakes.



Meanwhile, Sophia has been busy preparing for Peru's rainy season:

The BMS Brigade

Excuse the delay in posting, but we have had some busy times recently, both in Selly Oak and Enfield in half term. Last week, we were delighted to be able to meet up with Scott, Anjanette, Jessica and Sam, the family that we will be working with - and initially living with - in Cusco. It was great to spend time with Scott and Anjanette, and wonderful to see how well the children played together, and proved that IMC is a fantastic place to play hide and seek. I use the term 'BMS Brigade' advisedly, as James and Julia are also in training at the moment, to go to Peru as long-term mission personnel. As the photo shows, there is a number of us, and we were excited to hear about the existing work in Peru, and looking forward to being part of God's mission in Peru.

Dorothy Day - A Taster

There's an article on the Sophia Network about Dorothy Day if anyone is interested - you can find it here. It talks a bit about Peru as well.
