Jesus said, ‘I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener … abide in Me and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. ’ John 15:1,4

Vision for this visit:

v     To join in and learn from Christian inner healing work in Burundi especially with Rema Ministries.

v     Visit Buhiga with Georgette Butera to share and pray with women in their homes.

v     Visit the brethren and Roger & Miranda Bowen at Matana incl. teaching at the Theological Institute on trauma healing.

v     Teach pastors, at seminars organised by Rema, about listening skills and Christian inner healing.  I hope this time can also be a time for the pastors to receive healing. 

v     Strong partnership with my Burundian brethren.

v     Time with others to pray, discuss and discern God’s voice for healing the wounds of ethnic conflict in Burundi .

v     To be an encouragement to the Church in Burundi .

Please pray for:

Ø      God’s timing and order for how exactly to spend my time in Burundi and God ordained meetings with people.

Ø      The Cross to be central in all that we do.

Ø      Lots of Holy Spirit power for people’s traumatised hearts to be healed and forgiveness and reconciliation to spread.

Ø      That I stay close to Jesus.

Ø      Protection: good health and safety, especially on the roads.

Ø      My parents, Adrian and Linda to experience God’s love and strength and for my younger brother, Andrew who will be based in Basra , Iraq from 4 June with the RAF.
