Still Busy on the Island

Strange to think we have been back for over 2 weeks. looking at the forecast it is still cold in Dorohoi with -13C forecast for tonight. Today we had the sad news that one of the fathers (age 35) from a family we help in Romania died suddenly in his sleep. He was a lovely man, please pray for his wife and 7 children.

We are busy here, yesterday I was talking to a group of lovely ladies at the Salvation Army. They had been busy collecting things for us and also knitting some beautiful blankets and baby clothes, all will be welcome in Romania. On Thursday evening we will be attending a members meeting and updating our church (Ramsey Baptist Church). The folks there are a real Blessing, supporting us with prayer & in practical ways.

Busy on the Island

We have been back for over a week now and life here is as busy as when we are in Romania. It is also great to have time with our family & friends.
Last week we were taking part in the Manx festival of connections where around 20 charities had displays of their work. It was good to meet up with many friends and see what wonderful work is being acheived by IOM charities around the world.
We have also had various meetings and been collecting items donated for us to take to Romania. Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement.
