Hey guys
A practical thing! As some of you know I do sometimes have to do long distance travelling and would love to have some new reading for this time and so I have put together an Amazon Wish List of books I would love to get my hands on! (some are actually work related).
It can be found here.

Hey guys
An update on ministry related stuff!
Firstly, with the work with Kaya, we have just finished a week of mid-term exams. Please pray for the students as they start to receive their marks this week – for clarity and wisdom for all giving grades. Also, unfortunately, the kid who ran away the other week and then returned has run away another time, this time with his brother. Please pray for them both wherever they are and whatever they are doing. Also, this week has seen two new kids join the residential program so please pray for them as they start to settle in.
Within the youth work, tonight we are starting a new series on the letter of James. Please pray that as we read such an exciting letter that the youth would see that our faith is not just a academic exercise but is practical too.
Bendiciones y amor

Hey everyone
I wanted to put a bit of a finance update on here so you guys can be praying for the situation, especially considering the present worldwide financial crisis.
Over the nine months since I arrived out here the rate between the boliviano and the pound has fallen drastically – when I arrived I was getting more or less 15 bolivianos to the pound and now it is less than 10 to the pound. This makes a drop in the amount I am receiving of over 30%, drastically reducing my budget. Also, with the difference in placement to when I was writing my budget before coming out, and the time I am spending in El Alto, I am now spending more than I originally thought on travel every week. All this has meant that my budget is very tightly stretched. Thank you to all of those who have helped out with this so far, however if you would like to consider giving either a monthly amount or a one off donation please contact myself or the finance department at Latin Link who can send you the relevant forms and details.
Bendiciones y amor
