Sheads in Shorts!

The last four months in Australia have been a time of rich blessing and refreshment -- although at the moment we are missing Santiago's more moderate summer weather! We have now finished our period of church deputations, and are frantically preparing for CMS Summer School in Katoomba.

Our time sharing with supporters was a constant encouragement! As another year draws to a close, we thank you again for your love and prayers, your generosity, and your partnership with us in the great worldwide rescue mission which began 2000 years ago in a feeding trough in Bethlehem. Merry Christmas!

Our children have had a great time getting to know
their cousins again (or for the first time)

Dates for your diary
2-8 Jan: CMS Summer School. Why not come for a day?
Sat 6 Feb: Our commissioning service. 3pm, St Paul's Carlingford

Give thanks...

• For an encouraging time with churches and supporters
• For another year of fruitful labour at the CEP, and for the growth and learning that we saw in the students

Please pray...

• For our preparation for CMS Summer School, and that the entire conference would bring glory to God
• That Stephen will complete the work he needs to do in the coming weeks
• For a relaxing holiday after Summer School, before we return to Chile

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. -- 1 John 4:10
