Back in England
We returned to Birmingham on October 8th after fulfilling 18 speaking engagements and a flurry of family activities packed into a 7 week home assignment. Honestly, we came back a little exhausted and not exactly full of vim and vigor for ministry. For the present, we are practicing perseverance and praying for refreshment.
Showing Hospitality
Last week we had the privilege of hosting a young couple from Alaska considering full-time Christian service in England. Days were filled with visits to local places of interest, ministries-in-action, and even a castle! Starting this Saturday, we will host a young man with similar intentions who has Yukon connections. He will stay with us for 2 weeks during which time we plan to give him a taste of life and ministry here in this great city. Pray for God’s leading in Neil’s future, as well as for John and Joanna.
Days Getting Shorter
As we write this update, it is noon, but quite dull and gray outside with a hint of drizzle—fairly typical weather since we’ve been back. Add to that the decreasing daylight as winter approaches and we are tempted to be downhearted even though we just recently returned! Instead, may we choose to take these conditions as a reminder of something Jesus once said,
“As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.” (John 9:4)
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!
George and Karen King
