Robert & Sheena Revie : This has been a very special year for us. Sheena and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at the end of May this year and it was lovely having the whole family with us for a special gathering. In the last few months Sheena hasn’t been too well with angina becoming more severe in the last 10 weeks. She finally went for an angiogram which showed a severe blockage in a main coronary artery and she will have to have a heart bypass. You can appreciate the shock when we received this news. However Sheena is at perfect peace and believes it is all in the Lord’s hands. As we look back over this year we thought that it was a blessing that this problem did not occur while we were in Ethiopia earlier in the year. She goes to the Golden Jubilee hospital in Clydebank on the 21st of November and will have the bypass on the 23rd. We value prayer that she might make a good recovery. Thank you so much for your support at this time. I enclose a picture taken at our golden wedding.

Les & Jean White recieved 7 Nov 2011 : Early in 2010 some of the leaders at Nyangombe were taken to court in an action designed to take over the Nyangombe Bible School and Training Centre. We were very encouraged this week to receive a Court Order from the Judge at Kitwe High Court affirming the legality of the present Nyangombe Trustees and accepting them as the legal custodians of NCTC land and buildings. The Lord has responded to the prayers of so many in allowing the Title Deeds for the Nyangombe land, which have been ‘in process’ for many, many years, to emerge at just the right time allowing this malicious case to be brought to an abrupt end. We thank the Lord that no changes have had to be made to scheduled events at the Bible School during the past year whilst this court issue loomed over us. The Lord has blessed and undertaken in an amazing way. We still have a ‘mediation’ meeting to attend in connection with the case`in mid- January 2012 but we can leave that with the Lord and are trusting for a good outcome and complete closure to this matter. Thank you for praying.

Albert Gray : Dear Friends I have now entered my last week in India. It has been amazing. Seeing the great need of the slum families of Calcutta, meeting a representative of the 50 workers in West Bengal who are now considering translating Bibletime into Bengali. Visiting some of the evangelists in Chhattisgarth (North India) and seeing the growth of the outreach including schools among the tribes. A team there is considering translation of Bibletime into Hindi. This last week has been spent with the Malayalam team in Kerala who have established Bible Educational Services (India).

Ruth Roberts : writes that the hydroelectric scheme at Kalene has been completed. There are now graduates from the school of nursing who will be taking up duties there and young Zambian Doctors are being trained too. There is a response to the Gospel from the witness that is given and there have been some really committed Christians among the tutorial staff.

Hilda Wadsworth : We need to pray for wisdom for the Kalene Tutors, that there will not be bad feelings with Government personal; re refusing students as they are sending so many. Government schools are sending literally dozens of candidates for interviews and there is no possibility of the school having places for them.

Beryl Barker : writes of her health now 90plus! hoping that it will not hinder her from continuing to serve The Lord whatever He plans. The Lord has given me a burden for the persecuted church and our suffering brothers and sisters, wherever there is opportunity to try to stir believers to pray.

Iris Floyd Do Nascimento : This is the first time that I have not been to Anglola which is not easy, but I feel it is the right thing. God has given me service here and I praise Him. A Vietnamese lady asked to do the Christianity explored course, so I was asked to do it with her, “one on one “. Also I do some visiting and entertaining.

Audrey Mee : There is little news from the area where I served God for so many years. Unfortunately many ladies we had close contact with are illiterate. This will not be the case now for the younger generation. However we have heard that in the northern strip of the country nearer the coast revival is still going on and many have declared themselves Christians. Nevertheless there is still opposition especially since anti-conversion law was passed. Pray that the believers will not be intimidated. The broadcasts via radio and TV satellite are followed by many and a great way of spreading the Good News and encouraging believers that is not so obvious to others. Our prayers are requested by these brothers and sisters and especially for those who have been called to be leaders and teachers in the house groups. The #Bible society has been able to supply copies of the scriptures but the drive is many miles. Please pray for safety for these servants of the Lord.
