A couple of weeks ago, we spent a very happy afternoon with Veronica, Rebecca’s old language tutor. She recently returned to Santiago after spending a year working in another city. She was very excited to tell us that her sister had just lent her a book which had transformed her understanding of God’s grace in Christ. The book was the Spanish version of Ray Galea’s “Nothing in my Hand I Bring”. She came to church with us, along with her two sisters, and is very keen to keep going and learn more.
We have also had some great discussions with B and E, the parents of Ben’s school friend, as we have worked through Mark’s gospel. Last week they also reached a turning point in understanding grace.

We are currently in the crazy final stages of packing, and trying to see our friends here to say goodbye. We leave at 11pm on Tuesday and arrive in Sydney on Thursday morning.
Give thanks...
- For exciting conversations with both Veronica and B & E about God’s grace and forgiveness through Jesus, and for Veronica’s eagerness to join a Bible-teaching church and keep learning more.
- For B & E as we try to tackle some tricky issues with them, just as we are leaving the country! Pray that God would open their hearts and minds and that they would respond wholeheartedly to Jesus’ call.
- For our adjustment to life in Sydney, and for the boys as they say goodbye to their friends and settle in to a new school (in English!).
