UNOH News - July 2015




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!

Lisa & Jon have also provided to following prayer points so that we can join with them -
Please join us in thanking the Lord:

This is a huge week in Bidwill!
  • This week our local shops re-opened for the first time in 17 years.
  • We got approved to teach Scripture at the local high school (also for the first time in over a 15 years). 
  • We launched our young leaders discipleship program on Monday night and had 12 leaders turn up.
  • We launch our Church Worship Service in Bidwill this Sunday.
  • Kshama has started high school well - please pray that she will feel comfortable being herself there. She is trying on a "funny kid" persona which is taking up a lot of her energy
  • Thank God for Lisa's improving health
  • God is working in the community.


Please pray:

  • For our young leaders to continue int heir passions and faith
  • For the service this Sunday to begin well
