I've had a good break break in Kenya for a few days and have come back refreshed, though feeling that the break could have been longer. While I was out on break I finally got down to tackle some emails that had been piling up and realised that one of them was about student support for possible further studies. After discussions with my pastors and my missions headquarters, we have decided that it would be good for me to come back to England to do a Master's Degree, which is why I will be in the UK from November onwards for a year. I'd lose my support if I put it off any longer and once I've got a Master's degree under my belt, I can always teach on a BA level. Anyhow, I am in the process of registering with Redcliffe college for an MA in Global Issues and Contemporary Mission for that purpose and will let you know how it works out.
Coming back to the time now: We have just had a great week of Across staff retreat in Yei where everyone came together to fellowship and worship. I have attached pictures and hope you all enjoy them. Please pray for the Cush Consultation that is coming up at the end of September and which is hosted by Across as well. Cush is a conference for Christian NGOs working in Southern Sudan to come together to network and has been crucial in the past for many organisations. Please also pray for the rest of my time here in Yei that God will continue to work in me here and that I will have a good wind-up with Across. I will be flying out to Europe on the 16th of November – first to Germany and then to England.
