JOLLT - May 2012

1. The Sensation Snail on Steroids

First things first: We're pleased to report that like a sensational snail on steroids our support is now at 80%. While encouraged to have seen some movement over the last month, and are grateful for the fellow battlers who have got behind us, we are conscious that there's still 20% to go! Please keep praying.



2. Easter Holiday Report
Over the first week of the holidays, N was at a Christian camp run by CBM at Raglan, where he had a marvelous time. CJ's speaking went well, while S & K enjoyed a week at home together. S started her week-long silent retreat on April 15th, a day after C & K picked N up from Raglan, before moving onto Palmertson North. We all enjoyed spending some time with Grandad (C's dad), after a busy day on Sunday 15th. The sojourners spent 2 days in Wellington, then moved onto Waipukurau for 3 days. K underwent two of days of "townie torture" on our relative's farm, before celebrating her 13th birthday together with the extended family on the 21st. We all drove back to Auckland, after preaching on the morning of 22nd.  

3. Shift into Temporary Accommodation for Eight Weeks
On May 5, we shift to temporary accommodation (Unit 2, 11A Alexis Ave, Mt. Albert, Auckland 1025) until we leave (God willing) for Thailand in late June. Living at 104A Hillsborough Rd since late Jan 2011, has been a huge blessing. Thanks again to Lois, the Pennys, and the MABC Missionary Accommodation Trust for making this possible. Our new landline will be 09-815-0924, or you can contact CJ on 0220297314, or SJ on 0220297298.  

4. Teenager in the House!

It is with considerable sadness that we announce the addition of a teenager to the family on April 22, 2012. Although suffering from welts brought on by denial induced pinching, K's Mother & father are doing fine.
