2013 Visit 15 August - 1 September

Greetings all. Along with James Major and Roger Wharrie, I set off for another time of teaching and encouragement at Samfya Bible School. I am now the Pastor of Fenton Park Bible Church in Rotorua, so maybe the blog name should change - no it shouldn't as Riverbend Bible Church remains the significant partner to the ministry at SBS! We will really value your prayers during the trip. I have a very heavy teaching workload over the three weekends and two weeks - please pray for strength and clarity in all that I do. Here is the itinerary for your information. Thanks for your interest in this vital work.
