Occasional Update: No 4 March 2021

We are still at Gareth’s mum’s house in Dorset where we have been since Dec 2. A short visit has become a lengthy one, although Mrs Bolton senior is not complaining…yet! Ministry preparation and its delivery have continued plus regular Sunday Zoom teaching sessions including a History of Christian Missions (*see below). While we have been blessed with good health and beautiful countryside, we know that is not the case for everyone.

We regularly receive reports from AMEN partners (www.amentrust.co.uk) who have continued their great work, despite some restrictions. May the Lord bless and encourage you all,

Gareth ><> Malou Bolton
