We were told the water from this fast flowing Norwegian stream was safe to drink – if we could get down to it!
The pictures below show the three main areas in which we are involved in Christian ministry: AMEN (www.amentrust.co.uk), OM (www.uk.om.org), and Oak Hall (www.oakhall.co.uk). The photos also portray not only the beauty and happiness but also the tragedy and sorrow of our broken world. All of us, in different ways, can make a positive difference. This monthly update is sent to more than 2200 addresses and we do realise not everyone may want to receive it. If that is the case with you, please hit the reply tab and write ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject line and send.
Thank you for your support and interest stretching back, in some cases, over more than 40 years!
God bless you all,

The tragedy of the deaths of many people in Pakistan is compounded by the loss of property and animals. Our AMEN associate based there sent this picture and asked if we could help. We have sent a little but would like to do much more. Send donations to Support | Amen Trust ref. Pakistan Flood Appeal. Thanks.
