Redhill!

Hi all, sorry for the little delay between this and my last post! It has been busy......

really enjoyed some good time and fellowship with staff and volunteers at living hope, a few of us went last saturday to the aquarium in the city and saw the contrast between the 2 oceans that meet around south africa. The sharks were massive and their were some turtles too ('dude') and many other great animals. God has been extravagant in his creation and its great to see and be reminded of that!

We also enjoyed time in the waterfront, apparently 'world famous' but there we go!, cruising round the shops and enjoying some of the local food.

The evening saw the wider staff join us at a Mexican restaurant which was a great time of fellowship and a good opportunity to get to know my colleagues better.

On the work side of things there has been plenty happening, one of the main visions that I have been working on is to identify and grow leaders in the Redhill community to strengthen the Redhill church. We have had all sorts of problems trying to move forwards with this, a lack of willingness by current church leaders, the underlying racial tensions and cultures along with fairly standard lack of communication and different people all trying different methods to do achieve their different goals.

THis is quickly becoming my main focus, along with the other day to day work, and its great to be involved but will clearly take some time to set straight and start to work well.

Thanks once again for all your support, it is much appreciated, do email me little comments about what you are doing and what's happening in your life, its great that I can share on here about this trip but I want to know about you too!! (stuart.d.rimmer@gmail.com is me)

God Bless, there will be some more photos on picasa soon......
