Going back to Burkina, you are
My identifying of my church leaders with the Jedi Council caused some amusement here in Cardiff, with several people asking me which of the church leaders was which one of the Council members - a question I have resisted answering.
Maybe you want to decide for yourself:
The decision of the Council
The key decision that came out of our meeting is that it is time for me to return to the ministry, but that I will explore some new ways of working in Burkina.
I will actually be "re-commissioned" (which I'm told makes me sound like an old boat or boiler) on the 30 July. But I am beginning now to put things in place and to explore how I should approach this next phase. So, on Monday I fly out to Burkina Faso again for another short visit, to start to look into this.
Please pray for this trip. I will be there from 12-30 June, and will be trying to meet up with some of the key people out there, to find out how we can work together for a way forward in God's purposes.
Thank you.

I will look at the church leaders in a new light this week.
Every blessing for your trip. We will miss you when you are back in Africa - hopefully we will catch the Baggies v the Superhoops first

Great news. Have a great trip.

P.S. I think the two lines of photos match up quite well, except Paul and Jane might need to be swopped round (don't tell Paul I think he looks like Ewan McGregor in case it goes to his head. Its the beard more than anything!)

Hi Keith,
We too have a acacia trees in Tucson, Arizona USA!
I am taking a few weeks off from my position at a large American computer software company. Usually I am so busy with work,a 9 yr old boy, a 10 yr old boy, a husband and a Border Collie that I haven't had time to read blogs. Today I read blogs from my Christian brothers and sisters around the world-Edinborough, Australia,Singapore. It is so exciting and strengthening to see the love and devotion to Him.
I respect the work you are doing and will continue to pray for your ministry throughout 2006.
Your Sister in Christ,
Marie
