The resurrection, which some of us still celebrate today, symbolises the ultimate defeat of cruelty & cynical human power by a far greater force. Among other things, Easter enshrines the idea that what we do here matters somewhere else, that there is an absolute standard by which our actions are judged
(April 24th Mail on Sunday. Comment)

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is fundemental to Christianity. The Bible says that Christ died for our sins, was buried and that he was raised on the third day. He then appeared to Peter & to the twelve disciples & James and to more than 500 at the same time. (1 Corinthians 15 v3-7)

God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and the joy of our marriage. In the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Amen
(Duke & Duchess of Cambridge)

“The Bible is unequivocal that all human beings  have been made in God’s image.”

We ve been getting loads of kids coming to the kids clubs so much so that there is a waiting list in the afternoons as we currently take 55 kids and thats meant that we all work at the church in the afternoon and we work at converting the gym in the morning consisting of mainly chiselling tiles and shovelling rubble. The church are helpng us some more in the clubs with translating and we re getting to know them better when we invite us for lunch or use our neighbours swimming pool.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. HEB 11 v 1 & 6

The team of 11 arrived safely. They are workng with a church in Recife on the North-East coast. The plan is to kick start some social action projects with the youth at the Memorial Presbyterian Church in Piedade. Continue to pray for Owain.
