Jon has become a talented writer. He is able to create a picture in the reader's mind so that they are transported into the story he is telling about - and those stories are true, raw and indicative of real life in the area that Jon, Lisa and the girls live.
Jon sends out a Huddle newsletter most week's - the last 5 of which will be shown on this post and updated as they come in. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Jon has also provided to following prayer points so that we can join with them -
Thank you for standing with us in prayer. As many of you know this has been a season of poor health for Lisa. We thank you for your prayers and beautiful messages and expressions of love and solidarity from emails through to bringing meals over. Lisa is transitioning between medications for depression and anxiety. She is on a fortnights leave and I am trying to stay close to home to be with her if needed. The girls have spent a week with their grandparents.
Please pray that we will have the faith and patience to make it through this time. We are looking at ECT at this time as well, which from all reports, seems effective this far.
Praise The Lord:
For the slow process of healing.
For deepening connections at this time as we share not only in the joys of the neighbourhood but they also share our pain and extend love to us in beautiful ways.
That we were able to celebrate with neighbours at a BBQ that Kshama decided to put on.
For God raising up leaders from within our team and for depeening love between team members.
Pray for me (Jon) as I lead while going through pain - I am afraid I'm going to upset people, pray that if I do I will have insight. Proverbs 4:7 - The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight...
Please Pray:
For today's meeting about a church plant to bring harmony between different groups ministering in the community.
For God to build a team for teaching High School Scripture.
For neighbours who just found out that their daughter has a terminal condition - this Sunday we are dedicating her - they have decided that they want this time to bring them closer to God, as they are seeing more of God's work and feeling more of God's love at this time, rather than less. They have invited Lisa and I to pray a blessing over her and the family.
