We have just received news from Pastor Haydn Greenow, Rhyl, N. Wales; of the deposit o f £750 towards Bete's house in the 'Serra Favela' in Belo Horizonte. Haydn is the present leader of "Occupy Till I Come", a UK Charitable organization;which was originally started by Ivy Redmonds; a very dear lady whom we have known for many years. In those early days Ivy collected Greenshield Stamps from many different people and used them to bless missionaries on the different fields with magazines and other reminders of the homeland. We ourselves received many such blessings from her hands when we were first on the mission field. In between the pages of the magazines we often found teabags and other things and it was always an excitement to see what had been sent to us this time. In those days, such things were impossible to get, where we were and Ivy was a source of tremendous blessing and encouragement to us. We honour her for the wonderful work that she did and for the warm heart that she had for the missionaries overseas and praise God for the continuing work of their mission.Latin American Ministries will up that donation by £250, from other precious gifts coming in and will now be able to send another £1,000 towards the new building. Thank you all of you! |
