I begin by saying I have 18 names so far, who have put 3rd to 5th July 2009 in their diaries to join Ian and Simea at Bawtry Hall.

The prices are not very different than last year. Full board for the weekend in the main house is £84.00 and the Garden wing is £74.00 I have booked and paid the deposit.

I would appreciate a deposit of £15 or the full amount and have attached the booking form.

I will do my best to answer any queries by e-mail or phone 01522 751611 Please send to the booking form to me at:-

I'm sure it will be a time of sharing great blessings as last time.

Now to immediate prayer matters;

    • a, In answer to your prayers Wanderson and Adenilson are progressing well Adenilson has made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
    • b, The corn festival was a great success.
  2. 2. 8 friends of Andy's from Newcastle University are visiting from today for a month and it is planned for them to start the refurbishment of the farm. I pray it is a blessing to them and all in Olinda.
  3. 3. Heavy rain has revealed some quite bad leaks in the roof at My Father's House. The owner is not contactable and doesn't do repairs! God's timing is amazing Nettleham Methodist Church have just sent an extra cheque for £797.00 which will go to this and the maintenance on the farm. I hope it's enough?
  4. 4. "Youth Challenge" is a project run by the Baptist Church in Olinda and Ian and Simea are in talks with them to decide if it is possible to have a unit of this work at the farm. They hope it comes to fruition.
  5. 5. Rodriga, (not sure of the spelling) 14 years old who was at My Father's House two years ago is drinking heavily and his mother is asking for help and would like him to return. Is this the right cause of action?
  6. 6. Joao has finished his year in Sheffield and it is possible a young man called Phillipe 23years old will take his place for the coming 12 months.
  7. 7. Please pray for leadership issues and reorganisation at Living Waters.
  8. 8. The Local Government are in negotiation with Ian and Simea about a project for 200 children at Living Waters. If this went ahead it would need another class room plus resources.
  9. 9. The trip of a years voluntary work by Val Burgess may get postponed as her Father has been diagnosed with bowel cancer, please pray for her and her family at this time plus her future plans.

Ian and Simea thank you again for your continued faithfulness in prayer and support

Love in Christ Beth
