NEWS END OF FEBRUARY 2018

Dear Friends,

Give thanks for the many very positive reviews that I am getting of my recently-published novel, African Heartbeat. Give thanks that from 18th February we have been getting some significant rain, after a very long dry spell.

I do not want to mention individuals. But, I do want to say, that I am very encouraged by the way many of the children who once stayed with me are following Christ and serving in the Church.

Again, without wanting to mention individuals, I can say that I am finding an increasing number of younger people being inspired by the fact that I have consistently and relentlessly been dedicated to the African people around here for three-decades. My work is having a lot of tangential fruit of this nature, demonstrating how this kind of dedicated commitment is an option.

Here is some fascinating dedication of African Christianity in Ethiopia, from the BBC!

Jackie Pullinger has some excellent sermons and messages recorded on the web. Many are wise and very inspirational. (Listening to her might help you to better understand Jim and his ministry!) See especially 26th minute plus of the following.
