Ridley’s Ravings!

Our Lovely Family and Friends,

Here are our prayer points for November. Thank you all so much for reading them and praying for us in this way. We are very aware of people's prayers as we go about our daily tasks and especially travelling in and out of Basel most days. As the weather get's colder (we are expecting snow at the end of this week and temperatures -7C overnight) it does get a little harder to venture outside. Also to keep fit and well!

We are expecting a visit from our dear friend Dudley Tann next week and it will be wonderful to see him after 2.5 years. I'm sure he will bring a little bit of Adelaide with him. It's so great that he is making a detour to see us here. We know he will bring us much joy and encouragement.

We trust this email finds you all well and very happy. Do send us your news and anything you would like us to pray about for you. We love hearing from our friends.

With our love,
Roger and Gaynor


Praise Points

- We had a wonderful Open Night at Centrepoint on 24 October with around 150 people attending. We had some great conversations, met old and new friends and thoroughly wore ourselves out. Gaynor made cakes, slices and biscuits for the evening.

- For a lovely few days spent with Gaynor’s sister Irene and husband George before they returned to Perth.

- We continue to make the most of opportunities we have for good conversation and catch ups with English speaking people in Basel. There has been an influx of new families at this time of year.

- God has blessed us with a wonderful family and we want to thank God for them. Tim and Amy will be visiting us over Christmas and we can hardly wait. Jocelyn is doing well and currently has a locum position in O.T. Glenda and Tom are keeping busy with their jobs, painting the outside of their home and looking after puppy Peach! Tom starts a new position with CBA on Monday.

Prayer Points

- We have not had good health the past couple of months. We are both currently getting over a terrible tummy bug! A friend in Basel sent us an email today and said No more ill health please! Please pray for our health.

- Would you to continue to pray that God will direct us to the right location so that we can begin inviting people to meet together to discuss spiritual issues, have coffee together, show videos, etc. We would like to discuss this situation with a Swiss friend of ours in Basel.

- Winter is upon us and we find most people go into hibernation! Can you pray we will not be affected by the weather but stay focussed and organized in all we do. We have a busy programme between now and Christmas.

- Discipline as we prepare the next Ridley’s Ravings!

- Please pray that we will have faith as we look to our Heavenly Father to continue to provide for us and our ministry here. There has been a drop in our financial support and we are being very careful in our use of money.
