Just a Little Rogayn

Our Dear Family and Friends,

This year is racing by. Cheryl reminded me on the phone this morning that we are coming to the longest day of our year and those of you in Australia to the shortest day!! That's quite too much for us to take in!

We trust all is well with you and the activities you are involved in. We again thank you for your prayers for us and our ministry here. As we've said before, and will continue to say, we couldn't be here without the faithful prayers of people like you.

We are both well and enjoying the warmer weather (even though one night last week the overcoat had to come out again!). The colours of spring/summer in Europe have to be seen to be believed. It is quite something.

Please send us a quick email with news about you and if you would like us to pray about something specifically, please let us know.

With our love,
Roger and Gaynor

Praise Points

- We are feeling particularly encouraged and excited about our work here and the contacts we are making. We have much to thank God for as we continue our ministry here in Basel.

- Good venue to hold our monthly Mosaic Gatherings in Loerrach which Derek Webster has been running and speaking at. The next gathering is this Wednesday 11 June.

- We had our first Nooma Night at a Starbucks Cafe in Basel on 27 May with 14 in attendance, but most were Christians. Nevertheless this is a start and at least gives the Christians an insight in to how simple reaching out can be. (Please see our blog for more details about what Nooma is all about).

- Good phone conversations with family and friends in Australia which we find particularly encouraging and helpful.

Prayer Points

- For God's leading as we continue to move forward in our work here, to know exactly what God wants us to do in the coming months, and for good ideas as we bring people together.

- Our good friend Cheryl sent Roger a DVD series from Australia for his birthday. Roger is organizing 3 Thursday nights to show the series at Centrepoint in Basel, for men only, beginning 19 June. Pray for good numbers and for the men to enjoy being together and that there will be good relationships developing.

- Roger is attending the Swiss Baptist AGM this coming Saturday near Zurich. Pray he will have the opportunity to share something of our work and to enthuse those who attend these meetings.

- For wisdom for us in the one-on-one times we have with either new followers of Jesus, or with those who are not yet but close to being followers of Jesus. You give them a name when you pray (eg man's name for Roger's contact) to make it real and personal.

We hope to keep our working blog up to date each week. Please check it out to see what we are up to - http://rogngayn.blogspot.com
