NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2018

FORTY YEARS!!!

2018 will be a very special year for us.

On 4th July it will exactly forty years since we arrived in Malaysia with our four children to commence our service as missionaries. What a wonderful forty years it has been.

Two days before on 2nd July Julia will be celebrating her 70^th birthday. She had just celebrated her 30^th birthday when we arrived in 1978.

FIFTY YEARS

In June last year we celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary. The anniversary was actually on 4^th March but we postponed the celebration until June so that all our family could be together. What a great time of memories that was. We are blessed to have such a great family and such wonderful friends.

HEALTH

As we are getting older we do face some health challenges. Over the past couple of years we have both had some problems.

Julia is having difficulty controlling her type two diabetes. She also has problems with arthritis and a recurring pain in her leg which started when she was horse riding in New Zealand a couple of years back and the horse stumbled. She also has bladder problems.

Colin has largely recovered from the minor stroke he suffered in 2016, except for an occasional lack of balance and weakness in his legs.

We would greatly value your prayers for these issues so that we will both have the strength and energy to keep serving the Lord in his kingdom.

Recently Colin noted in Numbers 1:3 that the minimum age for enrollment was twenty, but there was no maximum age as long as they were able to go to war.
