Eleven Months to Christmas...

Well, the end of 2010 is in sight and it's time to think about Christmas presents and what 2011 is going to bring.

Actually, there's plenty to do in 2010 first. We're coming to end of our orientation period, and the year is about to really get under way for us. We've got a great bunch of students this year. What really encourages me is how many of them are just so keen to learn and grow. The kind of training that we offer means that I value hunger for God higher than academic ability in our prospective disciples.

We've had a lot of rain here over the past couple of weeks. It's played a bit of havoc with our work schedule, as harvesting melons doesn't happen so well in the rain. If they get wet then they explode.
