We continue that link today in various ways but particularly through our support of two parishes, St Mark’s, Ngagara and St Mark’s, Gahosha.

Azaria – our CMS (Church Mission Society) link mission partner in Guatemala.
We just wanted to send greetings from Guatemala now that we have been back just over a month.
We have finally started to settle back into life and routine here.
We feel very blessed and encouraged by the time we spent in England and were especially encouraged by the visits to our wonderful Link Churches and supporters, it was a very special time.
You can read a little more in our latest CMS Link Letter, no.26
Our prayer requests:
- Please do keep us in your prayers as we continue to settle back into life here and start back with activities in the vulnerable community, Bethania.
We are excited to be back and able to share with the children and youth again. - Also pray for us as I, Azaria, start back with the mentors I support and also as I do referrals of new mentors to start serving in the children’s homes.
- Please pray for David too as he continues to support and work with the worship bands through discipleship.
- We also just wanted to say thank you again for your prayers for my brother Zeph, he is continuing to receive treatment and overall has been and is doing well.
It is still a long road ahead so please do keep him and my parents in your prayers.
Thank you, we especially appreciate and value your prayer and support at this challenging time.
