more web sites support village of hope

this month has seen the launch of the new vale of aylesbury vineyard web site which includes a great page highlighting the work that we are doing on the village of hope here in south africa, go check out their web site and the page that we appear on via the 'blue links' above.

they join the winslow christian fellowship, recently renamed 'winslow vineyard', with their support page and the everynation church in hammersmith who have been supporting us for a little while visit their web site, over the christmas period the everynation church have been running their hope challenge which has raised around £7,000 for us and the work we are doing as we seek to make a difference to children infected or affected by HIV and AIDS.

thanks guys for your support.

fun day and a chance to hear us talk!

we just wanted to give you a chance to catch up with us before we leave england, this weekend we will be having a fun day to raise funds for thembalitshauk and would love to catch up with you, the event is to be held at aylesbury grammar school at 1pm.

if you are unable to make that and or haven't been able to hear us talk whilst we have been over you could listen to the first talk of the latest 'tour', which was part of the winslow christian fellowship service in june, click here to be taken to their site and then download the talk....we must say that it's awful to hear ones voice and the talk was a little disjointed with photos etc but you will get a feel of what we have been talking about!

back in the uk and great news about one baby

well we have been back in england for a week now and whilst it has been amazing to catch up with family and friends a lot of our time is spent thinking of the work going on in south africa, it hard to adjust to the fact that we have so much that we take for granted whilst so many have so little where we have just left.

we have had some communication with daz and lisa and wanted to share that we have been able to place one of our children back out to his family, which is great and the main aim of the project, we just need to trust that the family support this child as they should, but in the mean time we will continue to provide them with nappies and formula milk.

this week has been a busy time of speaking engagements, last sunday we spoke at winslow christian fellowship and we have made trips to tonbridge baptist church and also aylesbury holy trinity (not far from where we are staying i admit!)....

both arron and maz spoke at their 'old' schools, arron did really well and received great praise from his old headmaster, quite a feat for arron!, maz had half the staff in tears by the end of her talk and the children listened well too!

this coming weekend we are speaking in northampton with a school assembly in banbury kicking of next weeks engagements, if you want to find out where we are to come and listen to our stories then please contact us via this blog.
