Countdown

Time is ticking down now and we’re nearing the end of our course here at IMC. So what’s been happening since we last wrote?

• We have enjoyed learning about all kinds of things – from development projects to Ignatian spirituality, from nutrition & health to security & risk management, as well as continuing with our theology and culture modules.

• We’ve had a lot of vaccinations – not so enjoyable.

• We’ve written a report, two essays, and a country project – each. Wit’s project was on church planting in Thailand, and Helen’s was on Buddhism and how it is practised in Thailand. Both will be very useful for our future ministry.

• We’ve been on four church visits, which were a real blessing to us and hopefully vice versa. We were inspired by the ways in which each of the churches is reaching out to the communities around them, and the dedication of the ministers. A Thai banquet and three roast dinners were also much appreciated.

• We’ve booked our flights – flying with BA on January 20^th

• We went to the Open Doors’ Greatest Adventure day and were deeply moved by the stories of Christians under persecution, but also amazed to hear of how God is working in those countries.

• We’ve been able to celebrate our DJ and Josie’s birthdays with them. It’s also been good to be around as DJ moved to Newbury to start the second phase of his graduate training scheme with Vodafone.

• Finally, in case you were wondering, the food is still amazing!
