Gary & Rhonda...


Many of you will remember Gary, who was away with us for the year in Mexico. Well Gary is due to get married to Rhonda on the 27th of December this year, and we have been invited to their big day.

We had the lovely couple around for a chinese on Saturday night and it was great fun to catch up with what they have been doing, and how their plans are coming along. We pray God's richest blessings for Gary & Rhonda for their future together.

Fun, Fellowship...and Kebabs!


Anyone who knows us, knows of our love for kebabs, and the sharing of this passion! Whenever we went to OMS head office in Manchester, Paul Bentley (on the right of the picture, who is personnel director) took us to a most excellent kebab shop. So when he came over to our patch we took him with us for a "heart attack on chips."

It was such a good time, and we haven't laughed as hard in ages, but unfortunately chilli kebabs aren't for everyone - as you can see by Tred's face!

OMS Youth Weekend...


Last weekend we were invited to the OMS Youth Weekend in Bushmills to speak about what God is doing in Mexico. It was a fantastic time and we met up with so many people that have been praying, giving and going to the mission field to serve God. It was really encouraging to spend time with people who are really open to what God wants them to do.

People Pleasing...

We have to apologise....we have become rather terrible at updating our blog (as has been suggested by the ever subtle Robin Mackinnon - Robin we love you!)

So we are setting aside a rule that if anything good happens, we will take a picture, or tell a story, to give you an idea of what we're upto!!

On tour with...

On Saturday, Jonny went to a Thanksgiving Praise service in Carr Baptist Church in Belfast. It was also our first time to share this time with Solid Ground, the gospel trio that Julie's Dad sings with.

It was fantastic to go with them and share a testimony with the people in the church, and to share about the great God we serve. Also to share of the work God is doing in Mexico in and through the ministry of OMS.

If you want to check out a bit of Solid Ground's Ministry please check out their website.

Baby Show...


In Belfast a couple of weeks ago we went to a baby show with Jackson, Craig & Christine to see some of the cool things that we can get for babies. Jackson had a great time tasting and testing alot of the things, but the grown ups also had a fun time seeing everything that the show had for babies.

We got a couple of things to help us prepare for our baby coming in November, and also a couple of things for Julie to help make her comfortable in these coming weeks!

Meetings...


We have been still keeping up with our meetings schedule and sharing with people what God is doing in Mexico, and in our lives. It's so exciting to share with people and be encouraged about the people who are supporting and praying for God's work.

Last Thursday we spoke in our own church, and it was really good, as even though we have travelled round a lot of churches and friends, it felt like coming home to your own family.

God continues to bless us with a wonderful prayer support, and also a faithfully people who are really burdened for His work in Mexico.
