Susan- A Miracle girl! by TREVOR IRWIN
I was born in Northern Ireland and now live in London. I have been a missionary now for 15 years. When we first met Susan on a mission to a rural village in April 2007, she was in the later stages of death. Her body was infested with intestinal worms. Medicines would not work. I prayed for her in the village, along with two other mission volunteers. We left to continue our journey. But God spoke to me, and we returned that evening and put her in our old battered vehicle and brought her to our mission centre. We continued to pray and command death to leave her alone. 5 days later and God completely healed her. Now as you see, Susan is completely healed. She shares her testimony with us on missions into other villages and many have also received healing and hope. Praise God! Please help us to continue to reach others in need and extreme poverty.

My name is Grace. by TREVOR IRWIN
A Parents Prayer for their sick child. / (2 Samuel 12:22) David answered: While he was still alive, I went without food and cried because there was still hope. I said to myself, “Who knows? Maybe the LORD will have pity on me and let the child live.” / I am an Irish born Missionary living in London I spend much time living with the Kambari tribe, I get to know first hand the challenges they face each day just to survive. I also have the privilege of capturing not only hunger, sickness and often death, but the more happy occasions. This is Grace, and when I first met Grace in April 2007, she was suffering from Chronic Malnutrition, adn intestinal worm infection. This was taken in December 2007, and the difference in 2009 is wonderful. Thank you to all who prayed and donated towards saving Grace. Please do Pray for these precious suffering people in extreme poverty and for us as we press on in our mission to help them. I believe in the power of Prayer and a mighty God.

Pin Tailed Whydah by serendip
Taken through glass. This guy has been a regular visitor both last summer and over the past two weeks this year. He comes to perch on the handle of our bedroom window- presumably to admire his reflection. He often wakes us up in the morning with his high pitched “Tseet,Tseet,Tseet” call. They are very common over the whole of Southern Africa and found in many gardens. In winter they are a dull brown and only distinguishable from the hen by their red beak, but come the mating season they grow these long tails and which make flight slightly erratic, and bright black grey and white plumage. Narcissism seems to be the name of the game here as he prances up and down on the handle, then he will jump backwards and flutter in front of his reflection then return to the handle. This behaviour can be repeated several times in visits lasting up to half a minute or more. We know that he is in the garden in winter, but these visits only occur when he is in “full flirting regalia”.
