potato time on the Plot

Work progresses well on the Plot. Peter and Scott have been planting Maris Bard early potatoes which should start to be ready at the end of July and certainly for the Open Day on July 21st.
Scott and Allison have also moved - not far but to a bigger house.
Things have been challenging at Hope Centre with a flood of visitors.
Another potato row is hoed out.

The new Mr. and Mrs Richard Ashby with Wath Pastor Pete Morris. Richard started his Christian walk at St. Barnabas chapel in Spring 2002 and we rejoice over what the Lord has done in his life over the past five years.

The Plot goes international

For six months during 2006 we supported a Malawian asylum seeker Jumbo Kalua. During his time with us Jumbo came to a deeper commitment to Christa nd we were able to provide him with a bible in his native tongue. We came to love and admire him. Jumbo was eventually deported back home. However we were able to keep in touch with him through his parish priest in Chilonga.
We were able to send him a small sum of money to start a business. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world and per capita income is less than 50p per day.
I have kept in regular contact through the wonders of text messaging and was overjoyed to recieve two photos from Jumbo. As you can see the maize has grown very tall. Jumbo looks a lot better than he did when he was with us.
