I must apologise to our many friends, supporters and partners, in Australia and around the world, for not responding to many of your e-mails.  As many of you know, my dear wife Marie was diagnosed with cancer four years ago.  Marie's condition is very grave at the moment.  The doctors are unable to help or offer any hope.  My mother Margaret, who lives with Marie and I, was also diagnosed with cancer in December 2006.  As a result all of my time is currently being spent caring for these two precious women of God.

This is a very difficult time, but we are all strengthened by the knowledge that we serve a GOOD God, who's ways are perfect and who will never forsake us.  We are also strengthened and encouraged by your love and your prayers.  Doctors may not provide us with reasons to hope  but  Gods word provides all the hope we need.  In Him we have both hope and a  future, assured by Christ Jesus and His sacrifice for us and all who put their faith in Him.  How blessed we are, to be sons of the living God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

I will catch up with my correspondence when time permits, in the meanwhile please continue praying for all those associated with this ministry, particularly Marie and my mother.

God bless you all and may CHRIST be always with you.
