     Derek and Linda Roulston, along with their son Joshua (who will be 5 years old next month), plan to return to Kenya at the end of February, following a period of time at home on Home Assignment/Study Leave.  Their daughters Laura-Jayne (aged 15) and Amy (aged 13) are staying in Ireland where they are at boarding school in Dublin.  On their return to Kenya, Derek and Linda will continue their work with the Waliangulu people living in Galana, in the southeast of the country.  Praise God for answered prayer for Linda as she has recovered well from the surgery she underwent in November.  Give thanks that Laura-Jayne and Amy are settling back well into school in Wesley College, Dublin after the Christmas holidays.  Pray that God will prepare them for the next step ahead when they will say goodbye to their mum, dad and brother Joshua at the end of February.    Praise God that the church in Galana is going very well and continue to pray for the ongoing work of the Galana Project. 

 

     Naomi Martin is getting married to Thomas Leremore on 21st February.  The wedding will be held at Brackenhurst Conference Centre in Limuru, Kenya.
