Almost there!

Chris writes: So we have now completed more than a year together here in Kosova with OM. In total we have been in Kosova for three years. This has been a year where we have seen many ups and downs...we had a hard winter in our first house here and some of you shared in our sadness and loss during those days. Then when we were at our lowest and our money was cut we were offered a house rent free at just the right time. We had a good summer in the lovely house. We have house sat for other people during the year and this has made us appreciate and look forward to our own home so much. We will hopefully be in a position to rent our own home again during the spring of next year. We now both have a basic language though know we need more! Chris has worked in the schools and kids clubs around Kosova with the drug education and has built some good relationships. Lorraine has been developing her ministry and has built some good relationships with the kindergartens and is growing a craft passion and ministry.

We have much to be thankful for as we look back over the year..most of all to God for His goodness, grace and provision...but also to you, our supporters for your prayers and support.

We are looking forward and will be both be in the UK from mid December until end of January...details to follow...but are excited about returning...we believe we have a vision to establish a base here and build on the foundations we have laid over the last year and have many opportunities to share that while in the UK.

We have really appreciated your support and prayers over the last year and look forward to the next year with excitement.....and also trepidation!!

God Bless
