Our Dear Friends,
We trust you all enjoyed the Celebration of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ this month.
We are experiencing the Lord’s Goodness and Grace upon us from every direction since we arrived here. We thank you all so much for standing with us in prayer, and for those who have participated financially for our needs.
Here are some very specific answers to prayer for which we praise the Lord.
- We now have a place to live for longer term and will move there in May. We will be house sharing with 2 other couples in a very large house for a very reasonable rent and will have 2 rooms for ourselves and available guest space for visitors. It is away from the main city and nearer to a smaller town, so has more of a local community.
- M has now registered a consultancy company with a partner who works in a similar area as us.
- We have negotiated to buy a car from a friend here. We have been able to use it over the past few weeks which has been great for traveling backwards and forwards to register the company and set up the office.
- The Language Institute project will not go forward as there was a deadline set and we did not have the personnel or finances required. During our prayer times the Lord showed us, that although it was a very good project, it was not for us. He had spoken to us New Wine in New wineskins. However there are still openings for Teaching English
In the process of gaining a better understanding of what God is doing here we have visited various English, Arabic meetings and a Filipino service where M preached, but as yet have not committed to a specific fellowship. It is wonderful here to experience the rich flavour of the Body of Christ, with all the different nationalities and cultures. Easter was precious, even though there is not Easter Holiday as Sunday is a workday. We participated with the English speaking church on Good Friday morning and with Arabic meetings in the evening and on Easter morning.
The Lord is speaking about prayer, like rainfall, that will soak into the dry ground and soften the soil to receive the seed and support growth so that a great harvest will be produced.
In this region there are those that are thirsty for truth, but they are largely hidden people as much fear surrounds exposure. A few weeks ago one young woman from a nearby country was working in her job here as a hidden believer, the Lord brought her into contact with a woman from the same background, they are now meeting regularly for prayer and fellowship. For the first time she is not hidden from Gods family.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will water the ground, so that the seed sown will germinate, take root and flourish. Pray for hidden people to freely drink from the water of life

Thank you all once again for your prayer and support
God’s richest blessing to you all
