Our Send-off Party and Commissioning - A big THANK YOU!

To all of our friends and family who helped make our Send-off Party really special and memorable.

Some of you helped us publicise the event, others set-up, catered for, served and cleared up after the event. Others rehearsed and then entertained us, or gave communication support to our deaf guests.

Many made the effort to travel long-distances, to see us at other times due to prior commitments or simply phone apologies because poor health or other mis-fortunes (e.g. car wheel-clamped un-expectedly)!

We hope you:
-made a new friend as well as meeting some old ones.
- gained a clearer picture of the need, vision, mission and goals you are partnering us in.
- enjoyed the African flavour we gave to the evening through the samples of life in Arua , NW Uganda, East African food, song and dance.

PLEASE E-MAIL US A PHOTO OF YOU OR THE ENTERTAINMENT ASAP THANKS.

We were so grateful to be co-missioned from lifechurch the following morning, through prayer We have been a part of this fellowship for the last 12 years.

We want to heed the advice we believe God gave us through Brian Niblock, Africa South Area leader for AOG World Ministries: for me to take time to build firm foundations so that others can, and do, continue our vision beyond our lifetime there. Also that Helen would be a mother to many there.

We recognise that our mission work will be most effective if our family is settled, so this will be our focus for the next couple of months.

Hope you enjoy our latest news from Arua. Quite eventful..

Thanks everyone. Adam and Helen
