Suffolk Road Church

As the time of my departure for England is approaching I am typing this to thank those who prayed me through 3 months of work in a food bank here, a kind of supermarket where people from all over the world prepare food parcels for needy people, mostly immigrants from Russia and nearby countries. Over 20000 people are helped and over 60 tons of foodstuffs are given out monthly. This time I was not working on preparing the parcels but had my own office and computer, and was given admin. jobs to do i.e. answering all incoming calls and transferring them..never done this before…plus writing donor cards to go with gifts, preparing small baskets of foodstuffs for childrens birthdays, etc. plus other paperwork. I prefer this kind of work and the only thing I miss is the deliveries, where we would travel to distribute the parcels in and around Jerusalem. Just for your information these are the things I have noticed and shall remember from my time here.

Greetings to you all from the Cameron highlands, Malaysia, where I am recovering from a tough, eventful visit to 5 places in south and west India.
The trip went well, thanks largely to your prayers, and I saw miracles of guidance and preservation and God’s blessing on the teaching to bible school students and pastors. Public meetings in churches or in the open air in tribal villages were fruitful too. My health and energy stood up well to the travelling and the many hours of teaching, and I was very conscious at times that people were praying. Here are some details of the answers.
