Dear Friends and Family,
After 3 eventful weeks we have arrived at D day (departure). It has been so busy that tonight as I look back it seems like a blur of activity and final times together with different people, which has been beautiful.
We would like to say thank you to all the people from New Hope Christian fellowship, for sending us off with real love, support and prayers and a sure footing to move forward. You all know who you are xx
Also for helping accomplish getting the container packed with thousands of pounds worth of tools and materials for the new Village in Sierra Leone. What you have helped achieve has eternal rewards and it could not have been done without you in the time we had. Gods timing has been perfect!!
