2 vans at home and ready to load.
it's freezing cold here today - we're about to have a cooked breakfast before loading the vans throughout today
tomorrow we drive to our new home - anything up to around a 6 hour journey, and unload them
on Saturday we return the vans and drive back to our new home - around a 11-12 hour day
our car engine started playing up yesterday, but Jo made it to her last day of work and back, and we made it to the van hire place this morning.
we need another 500 miles or so out of the car, as we have no money for repairs (we suspect the last two, original, fuel injectors) and will need to find a garage once we've arrived at the new house. even if we had the money, garages are booking many days into the future anyway
plenty to pray for, and into, over the next 72 hours or so!!
we're certain God hasn't brought us this far to fall at the final hurdle, so we're holding to hope and Jesus!!

Enjoy your virtual travel through #Nepal and remember the fast multiplying House Churches. (Video from open source). Indian extremist groups are interfering with the religious freedom of our beloved Himalayan country Nepal.

"Head In the Clouds"
Here's a glorious cloud formation from a while ago. Lit up majestically by the sun, the texture of this cloud caught my eye when I looked out the window. I knew it would certainly pass within moments, so I hastily popped outside with my camera to photograph it.
@mensajero Father in Heaven I pray your strengthening and grace upon your servants in Myanmar! The devil had come to kill and destroy.. but you Jesus came to bring hope, joy & peace! Bless the servants of Jesus! Strengthen your servants- Lord. Help your servants to forgive their enemies !
this is Tammy- my sister Debbie went home to be with Jesus Today. she wanted to be healed but her body gave out due to covid and her doctors refused to let her take the ivermectin that was prescribed for her. I pray tonight she is wrapped in the arms of Jesus! this is Debbie's account and I know she appreciated all your prayers! please keep my family in prayer as this is a devastating loss - we are saddened to lose her - but know she's with God!
India is home to multiple religious beliefs and practices, including Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism and Judaism. In the past, the country has been known for not only its diversity but also tolerance. It is widely believed that because of this tolerance, religions that originated in other countries/regions flourished in India. However, the use of religion in political mobilisation has over the last three decades led to the Indian society being polarised and witnessing communal violence. One of the narratives that has long been used is that members of the Christian and Muslim minorities engage in forceful conversions. As a result, several state governments have enacted Freedom of Religion Acts, commonly known as anti-conversion laws.

@mensajero Father in Heaven I ask you to reach out to the people of Myanmar to bless & provide for your children & help them to teach out to others with God’s love & provision.
@mensajero Praying for the protection of these precious sisters. Also for the suffering Body of Christ in India.
Our children are brave too!!!
#BTJ decided to send an Elder's child to an educational institution for higher studies. To save money we decided to send the student alone. A first time traveller had to protect oneself against authorities, pickpockets, human traffickers, drunkards and drug addicts.
Last week our child not just managed to travel by Bus, Taxi, Train and share ride, shared Gospel through their family testimony!
Thank you #BTJ for caring for our children.
Thank you @sinbach
