Well, it's MARCH! Can you believe it ... I can't!
This is an ultra busy month for me, my family and all at Sefton Village. So many things happening at so many levels! I can hardly keep up with myself! Anyway, instead of droning on I will just write the upcoming plans below so you all know what's happening.
Friday March 12th - David & Grace Strachan visit
Monday March 15th - Jonathan & Renalyn Winters - new missionaries at Sefton - arrive to stay!
Tuesday March 16th - Dave & Madeline Russon visit
March 16th - 18th - AoG Regional Conference and Elections here at Sefton
Friday March 19th - 3rd CREW Training night with Dave Russon
Sunday March 21st - Cornerstone Nagassican's 4th Anniversary with Dave Russon
Wednesday March 24th - Fly to Manila
Thursday March 25th - Fly to UK
March 26th - April 2nd - Ritchie Family Holiday
Here are the confirmed dates of churches we will visit and rough idea of where we will be:
April 3&4 - Speaking at Easter Weekend Services at Fraserburgh AoG
Monday April 5th - Monday April 12th - Wick with Mary's family
Tuesday April 13th - Saturday April 17th - Central Belt of Scotland
Sunday April 18th - Whitburn AoG in morning
Monday April 19th - Saturday April 24th - NE Scotland
Sunday April 25th - New Hope Peterhead in morning
Monday April 26th - Thursday April 29th - NE Scotland
Sunday May 2nd - Harvest Church Hamilton in morning
Sunday May 2nd - Larbert Pentecostal Church in the evening
Tuesday 4th - Thursday 6th - AoG Leadership Conference (Mark only - Mary in Fraserburgh)
Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th (am) - Bridge Church Bolton
Monday 10th - Friday 15th - Wick
Sunday 16th - Fraserburgh Community Church in morning
Sunday May 16th - Emmanuel Church, Fraserburgh at night
Monday May 17th - Fly back to the Philippines!
We are still waiting for a few churches to get back to us but we will keep you updated. We would love to see you at one of the churches if you can make it! The main focus of our trip is to set up 'Friends of Sefton Village' - to develop a foundation of people who love God and love Sefton and who will be willing to become our partners in raising awareness and raising some finances for this wonderful place. Exciting stuff!
I am delighted to inform you all that Danny and Jane Mangadap's Visa application for a visit to the UK was successful! So they will be coming to UK from April 15th -May 18th 2010. They will be staying with David and Grace Strachan in Peterhead and we are working on a plan for their itinerary right now. Danny is my co-Senior Leader at Cornerstone and Jane is our Administrator for Cornerstone an Sefton Village. They are a wonderful couple who are sold out for the Lord!
That's about all my news for now. As you can see ..,it's gonna be a busy time for us as a family. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to come home. It's not so easy as many think and the enemy can have a real go at these vulnerable times. Keep us in prayer!
By next month I should have some really brilliant news for you -I can't share it right now until things are finalised. The vision is coming to pass and it is even beyond my expectations! We are in a battle ... in the last week it has been attack after attack. We had to fire three members of staff, my tooth cracked and fell out and yesterday a motorbike banged into the back of my car! Coincidences? The enemy is trying to discourage us ... but THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!
Keep praying and believing ... I will put a one of my favourite songs on our blog. It's called 'Honestly' by a Christian Group called Stryper (remember them!)
Enjoy the weekend!
