Midweek Communion, Williams Trust, Bishop Kito

30/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Three major events today:
1. Midweek service at St Stephen's;
2. A Lunch meeting with two of the trustees of the Henry and William Williams Memorial Trust;
3. A dinner with Bishop Kito of Te Tai Tokerau.

We started with the midweek communion service where John preached.  At the end, a parishioner asked for prayer for vertigo.  Tito, John and Ian prayed for her.  She said she felt something 'move' in her ears.  We heard on Sunday that the condition had greatly improved.  Praise the Lord!  Bwana asifiwe!

Then it was off to the airport to meet Hugh McBain and his daughter, Caroline, who are two of the trustees of the Henry and William Williams Memorial Trust.  The trust gives significant support to Kondoa Diocese and they grasped the opportunity to meet our two representatives of the Diocese.  We were welcomed by Bishop Kito and his staff to Rangihoua, his church office where we met and had lunch.  Then back to the airport to drop off the McBains. 

In the evening, Bishop Kito hosted a dinner for them.  He is another supporter of Bishop Given and was pleased to meet the priests and hear about their context.

    Reverse Mission
    from Kondoa to NZ

    As part of our Centennial Celebrations we decided to mount a reverse mission and bring two friends from Kondoa Diocese to visit the parish.  We hope to deepen our relationship and that their joy, faith and courage will rub off on us!
