Commissioning

As with our Lisburn church family last Sunday, it was an emotional time saying “Goodbye” to our family in Fintona this morning. Pastor Simon Matovu called us up and prayed a powerful prayer of ‘send off’ and right in line with the very things we had felt the LORD has been saying to us regarding this trip.

Hugs and encouraging words of affirmation followed the service as different ones came up and hugged us to personally ‘bless us on our way’.

Next was a lovely time with members of our family, including the three grandchildren, whom we shall not see for nine months (in my case). The youngest, born last month, will be ten months old when I next lay eyes on him in person. Meanwhile, we give thanks for modern technology, which allows us to interact across the Internet via video and audio platforms.
