Roger and Gaynor

Our Dear Family and Friends,

We have a busy couple of weeks coming up and we realize how quickly 2008 is slipping by. We have a retreat at the end of August that Derek Webster is organizing. He is hoping there will be around 30 participants. Mainly German speaking leadership from Switzerland will attend.

We continue to have good health, even though a little weary. We don't want summer to end! It seems like it hasn't really begun, but the days are getting a little shorter (dark around 9.30pm). As Rog was putting out the garbage tonight he saw a very bright light in the sky. We think it was a hot air balloon, though it seems strange that it would be flying at 11pm in the evening. Maybe we will read something about it in the news tomorrow!!

We will look forward to hearing from some of you on receiving this email. Do send us a quick email and if you want us to pray about things for you, please let us know.

Thanks for your love, prayers and support of us both.

With our love,
Roger and Gaynor

Praise Points

- We are very thankful to our Heavenly Father for our faithful prayer and financial supporters who enable us to continue to ministry in this area.

- For safe travel with the young people to and from Denmark and for a great 2 weeks on camp (even though we are still a little weary from it all!).

- Thanks for the message that God gave Roger to share with the young people on being different by the decisions we make.

- Thank God for some recent better facility with German but still a long way to go.

- For good friends L & B with whom we enjoyed the annual Basel Jazz night that takes over the inner city.

- Praise God for our good African friend Johnny who drives us often to Church and to our Mosaic functions.

Prayer Points

- We had an excellent meeting with Basel friends L & B; L is Chair of Centrepoint Board who encouraged us to continue to be active in Cpoint.

- That we will have a good attendance for the movie nights beginning 11 Sept. We will use the mini series Brides of Christ as a means to open up discussion.

- The second stage of Leadership Advance the weekend of 31 Aug - 2 Sept. Pray for Derek Webster in preparation and for us as we attend this with 20 others. We praise God that half our costs to go have been donated.

- We continue to need more people to be burdened to work with English speakers here. As in Australia, Britain and US, many English speakers are lost in their wealth & success.
