Home Assignment is a time when we try to connect with the individuals and churches that are supporting us to be here in Uganda with our sending organisation BMS World Mission. We have more churches and supporters than we can squeeze in, which is a lovely problem to have, so below you will find a plan […]
We have received further updates from our dear friends in Zimbabwe about the ongoing threat of Shalom farm being taken-over and the subsequent threat to Ebenezer’s existence. Ebenezer and Shalom are wonderful, God-inspired initiatives that we had the pleasure of working with when we were in Zimbabwe. Please read the following updates, and please continue […]
Warmest Christmas Greetings from Gulu! It’s 31°C, the sun is shining and it really doesn’t feel as though Christmas is only a few days away! We arrived in Gulu 4 weeks ago, and with the help of our wonderful colleagues, moving in went very smoothly. One of our Ugandan colleagues, Genesis, was an incredible help. […]

It’s now 6 weeks since we arrived back in Zimbabwe; time has really flown. We’ve quickly settled back into life here and are enjoying getting back into the swing of the weekly routine that we had established before our time away in January. One of…
2 cars, 2 planes, 2 coaches, 1 train and 60 hours later, we arrived back in Bulawayo after visiting my sister and her family in the States. The journey was a tough one, particularly as I was suffering from a kidney infection, but an awesome pharma…
A news-site’s photo of this weekend’s Beitbridge border queue After our extra month’s stay during December, for which we’re extremely thankful, the decision was made that we would choose to leave Zimbabwe for a short while whilst we continue to aw…
