Carrs return to the UK!

Return to Blighty!

Please pray for Charles & Val Carr and their family as they return to the UK. The family have spent 10 months in Burundi serving at the Mission International project The Hope Centre. Charles & Val have done a wonderful job planning, building and managing the project from the ground up, they have seen every brick made and laid and have also helped with the fundraising and raising the profile of the project and that of Mission International.

Mission International is so grateful for the selfless way in which this family has gone and served in a strange country and culture. Please pray for them as they begin their new life in Lancaster in England.

Pray for Christians in Pakistan:

Churches burned and Christians murdered in Pakistan:
News recently received by Mission International from contacts in Pakistan relate stories of Muslims meeting out cruel abuses on Christians and churches in the Punjab region. Under reporting by local press agencies and the fact that Government agencies have largely ignored the plight of the Christians and the crimes of those carrying out the abuses is further evidence that Pakistan is in a crisis.The recent reports received claim that churches have been burned down and many Christians have been killed, in particular young men, although some reports detail rape and murder of young women.

Appeal:
Mission International intends to send financial support to Pakistan to help purchase basics like food, clothing and shelter for those whose homes and churches have been sacked. If you are able to help by supporting this endeavour please donate by clicking here or donate to 'Pakistan Appeal' via PayPal at the top right of this page.

Joshua arrives safe and well:

Dear Friends
We give God thanks and praise as today (22nd of November) at 11.55am (3.55pm UK time) we welcomed into the world Joshua Alexander Holt
Cabrera (length 53cm, weight 3.6kg). Both Joshua and Claudia are doing fine after the surgery/delivery. Emma and Sara are not too sure
what to make of their new wee brother yet but were fascinated when they came to see him. Many thanks for all your prayers and messages of
support and encouragement. Claudia hopes to get home tomorrow afternoon so please pray for a good recovery.
In Him
Kenny, Claudia, Emma, Sara & Joshua

Holt baby on the way:

Dear Friends Just a quick update on Claudia and the baby. Unless the baby comes by himself in the next 24 hours, the Doctors have scheduled a Cesarean to be carried out on Saturday (3.30pm UK time). The baby is doing fine but there are certain indicators that suggest that an intervention in the pregnancy would be preferred. Some of you may know that the 22nd is also Claudia’s birthday so this will be a lovely birthday present (apart from being operated on that is!). She is a bit anxious about the operation so I would ask that you pray for peace for Claudia throughout all of this. Please also pray for wisdom for the Doctors and a healthy and safe delivery for Mummy and baby. I hope to have some more news for you over the weekend. Thank you for all your prayers and words of encouragement. We give God thanks for you all and the wonderful knowledge of friends around the world praying for us as a family, particularly Claudia and the baby at this time. Love in the Lord Kenny & Claudia
