tomatoes and prize chrysanthemums were lovingly cared for. In fact, the money I was left from my grandfather’s will bought some chrysanths. There was a shed full of Yorkshire canaries, and behind that were the allotments. Some say that young gardeners should grow vegetables, although it can come as a disappointment to them when realisation dawns that that they do not appear from the ground perfectly formed, clean and in a plastic bag. If the harvested carrot looks like a shrivelled red pencil, it can always serve to educate the beginner in how compost works! In addition to carrots and compost there is nothing so rewarding, on a balmy, wet evening, as a wander round the garden, with torch and bucket, collecting slugs and snails from the prize hostas and petunias. A very important job! Just imagine how much pocket money could be earned by an entrepreneurial youngster in pink, flower-decorated, wellies - this is so

Gardeners who probably don’t have children of their own, often commend the wonders of ‘Gardening with Children.’ Not as an alternative to scarecrow or statue, but in the realm of developing green fingers at an early age. Now I have no problems with that - I’m all for kids helping in the garden and learning about all things bright and beautiful from the time they can push a wheelbarrow or use a lawn mower. Older children, however, generally prefer to apply sun cream rather than compost, complaining about midges and wasps, or they gouge divots from the lawn with their football. If younger, they believe the pebbles on the path would look far better in the pond, and begin to move them to the preferred location as quickly as possible! My earliest memories of a garden is the small, square space at the front of my grandparents’ home in Liverpool. It had an enormous hydrangea in the centre with bright blue flowers and dozens of green caterpillars. In the back garden was a wooden greenhouse in which

you don’t lose sight of the little person as he goes round the garden. They like slimy things like worms, so why not snails? Weeding is also a great means of education. Of course the beginner has to know the difference between dandelion and delphinium, which can be something of a problem. A more sensible suggestion is for a child to grow a potted dandelion plant to follow the cycle of flowering and then seeding. When the seed-head is produced of course, you have to blow them away to tell you the hour of day - but not over my garden, please. But to be really educational, engage them in more pleasant wildlife. Our Thomas, soon to be two years young, encourages the cat to come in for her tea by shaking her box of biscuits furiously at the patio door, and shouting something completely unintelligible at the top of his little voice. Surprisingly Portia, the said feline, only appears when he has gone home! An experiment I tried some weeks ago has proved very successful and rewarding. I bought a bird-feeder - the type with suckers on that fixes it to a

window. I used it on one such window which had a layer of film on the inside. This meant that I could see out, but no-one could see in. It took a couple of weeks, but with some sunflower hearts for them to enjoy, a variety of small birds now come each day to feed. Because they cannot see me, I am able to get far closer to them than normal. The blue tit prefers to take a seed, hold it with its claws on the edge of the tray, and peck at it vigorously. As they do this with their back to the window, I see more of its rear end than its front! The chaffinch stays for a few minutes at a time, actually punctuating his seed nibbling by singing. It is loud, melodic and enjoyable. As is Thomas calling for the cat! And it is a reminder that there is much in nature we experience little of closely. When we are able to, we realise that God’s design is wild and varied. We know little of it-He notices even when one little bird falls to the ground.

“Look at the birds of the air,” Jesus said,

“They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, and yet your

Heavenly Father feeds them.

Are you not worth more than they?”

And do enjoy the sunshine too—if we have any this year!

Neil Rees

Or so the song goes at least. (And a fantastic song it is too, touted by most as Gershwin's best. If you've never heard it, try Ella Fitzgerald's version - youtu.be/u2bigf337aU.) I'm not sure that living is ever “easy”, but when the sky’s blue and you've the warm sun on your back, it certainly can change our perspective on life. Life is what it is - ups and downs, joys and disappointments, “swings and roundabouts”, or “between cabbage and cabbage, a lettuce”, as we say in Spain! Basically, we have to learn to take whatever life throws at us; like poker, you have to play the hand you are dealt. Of course what happens to us affects how we view life - as someone once said, most people would no doubt find it easier to praise God from an armchair than from a wheelchair - but that's not all there is to it. What most affects our ex-perience of life is not in fact the events of life itself, but how we choose to view these. Visiting a developing country often brings this home very powerfully. When received by people who live in what we

education - I am just pointing out that possessions and easy circumstances are no guarantee of happiness.) The Bible tells us pretty much the same thing. “Consider it nothing but joy,” says James to his downtrodden first-century audience, “when you fall into all sorts of trials” (1:2). Life is not a bed of roses - unless we include the thorns, of course! At some time or other, James warns them, the trials will be there. But what counts most is how we react to them. We can still find joy, despite the testing times. The key is our attitude - note that active verb consider - not what is actually happening to us. Paul echoes the same kind of sentiment in Romans: “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us” (5:3). For we know they are good for us. That would seem to be the key. God is interested in more than keeping us entertained through life - he wants to form true character in us, and this involves more than “the good times”. But the most powerful instance we find of this in Scripture comes from the prophet Habbakuk. Faced with the

would often consider poverty, though with a roof over their heads and sufficient food in the cupboard, it can be so challenging to see how basically happy they are in life. Kids play in the street with a tied up knot of old clothes as a football (not sure if it would contravene the Trade Description Act to call it a football!) and seem to smile a whole lot more than many spoilt western “brats” whinging after the latest Playstation or smartphone. (And no, I have no romantic illusions about the “noble savage” and am not saying that we should not support development projects or advancement through

relentless advance of the savage Babylonian army that would bring the total destruction of his home, his city, his people, everything he knew and held dear, his words are quite amazing:

Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,

and there are no grapes on the vines;

even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren;

even though the flocks die in the fields,

and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord!

I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

The Sovereign Lord is my strength! So this summer, however “easy” or “difficult” livin' might be, make up your mind to rejoice in God. He is your strength, your salvation, and the one who is always with you. Look to him. Pour out your heart, share your worries with him. He won't let you go.

Although we have finished our period of working short terms in China, and we have retired from our roles as Area Representatives for International China Concern we still maintain close contact with those we know on the full time teams. This article was sent out by Kyla Alexander who has given us permission to share it with you. Kyla is an Australian nurse who is the China Operations Director for ICC and heads up the team in one project centre in China. The team works alongside the local Welfare Centre and helps to care for abandoned disabled and sick babies, children and young people. In giving her consent to sharing this with you Kyla’s comment was, ‘maybe this story will help to capture someone else’s heart’. We hope it does! ICC is in need of workers, givers and pray-ers to enable this work to continue, develop and expand in order to meet the needs of those in need in modern China.

Ken and Sandra Jones ‘Some of you might have heard recently about the baby hatches in China that were opened in various places to receive sick babies. The children could be left in the hatches anonymously. News articles of the abandonment issue and the footage was heartbreaking. The hatches were all only opened for a few weeks and are now all closed - because they were overwhelmed! But the issue of abandonment of sick and disabled children in China is not new, nor do I believe it was increased by the hatches. I imagine what was happening with the opening

of the hatches was that the families were travelling to the areas that had hatches to abandon their kids, rather than leaving them in hospitals, train stations and other places. Did abandonment increase? Unlikely! Was the problem being addressed? No! What families need is a place to receive support, counsel, medical care, and perhaps therapy and special education services, so that they could take their children home, and families could stay together. It is my belief that few families in China really want to abandon their kids. The few I have advocated for and with have gratefully taken their children home and loved them as their own, when given the appropriate support. One such family came across my path recently. Anna (my team mate) met a lady abandoning her sick cousin at the gate of our welfare centre. Anna called me to come and help. The welfare centre leaders, discovering what was happening were determined to send her away – with the baby, and they had nothing to offer in support. Anna and I looked at the baby who was a beautiful 7 month old girl, but very, very sick with liver failure. We could see she was going to die, but we pleaded that she was better off passing away with her mother than abandoned in an orphanage. The lady left the centre with the baby, crying with anguish as she received so little help. Anna and I were heartbroken at the situation, and the minimal support we could give in the system we worked in. We decided to chase after them, and talk on a more private level. Jumping on Anna’s bike we travelled out to find the baby and her cousin with the baby’s mother and father, walking out to the bus stop, crying and feeling hopeless. The mother and father had been hiding around the corner while the cousin tried to abandon her. We

chatted to them, took their details, and said we would try to get some help. At the very least we would arrange for our doctor to come and see them to help the baby with pain relief, as she was so uncomfortable. I then rang my friend Naomi who runs a foster home in Shanghai for medically sick orphans, to see if she could help. Did the hospitals in Shanghai help ‘liver babies’? Did she know any organisation that could help this family? She did!! She herself was looking into how her own organisation, and others in Shanghai, could help families, rather than all the services be reserved for orphans, she wanted to help babies so they didn’t need to become orphans. We chased the family to tell them, and to ask them to buy train tickets to Shanghai. The very next day they caught the train and met Naomi, and a medical team in Shanghai. The baby has been given the English name Cindy. Naomi’s network has donated generously and she will receive a liver transplant in the near future from her mother. As far as I know the only places children can receive that kind of surgery in China is in Shanghai and Beijing. Last week the father came back to Heng Yang and contacted us for help. The baby couldn’t have surgery as she didn’t have a legal identity. To give them support I visited the family planning department in their county with them, and a compassionate official granted the baby an ID straight away - because of our compas-sion, he was affected. It was a miracle, as this is not the family’s first child, the financial penalty they would have to pay would normally be huge, but they paid nothing.

So far everything has fallen miraculously into place for baby Cindy and her family, and I believe it is the grace of God. In it, however, God is also doing something in my heart, and in the hearts of others. For years we have battled for the orphaned children, advocating for them to have surgery, to receive care, therapy and to be given fulness of life. The tide is turning perhaps, and while we will not forget the orphaned, I believe many of us (ICC and beyond) are being called to advocate for the families, so that families can stay together. I love adoption. I rejoice when our children join forever families. I love caring and serving the ones who will never have a traditional family and will grow up in our family group homes at our centres, but maybe one day we won’t need adoption. Maybe one day we won’t need group homes for orphans – only for disabled children needing respite, or disabled youth that move away from home. One day, maybe all babies like Cindy will be able to receive their Mum’s liver, and live.......rather than die abandoned in an orphanage. Solving this issue is long term. It will take many years, and many of us. But, I do believe we are called to it, and it is a call for this sea-son.

Please pray for us as we research and look

at appropriate strategies to keep families together,

and for baby Cindy and her Mum as they go for surgery in the

coming weeks. It has taken a

miracle so far - and I believe the miracles

will continue.’

Kyla Alexander.

Wedding

Congratulations

to

Paul & Kathryn

A wet day, surrounded before and after by beautiful sunny days, didn’t dampen the enjoyment of Paul and Kathryn’s wedding in Jersey on 5 July.

The bridesmaids, wearing delicate pink coloured dresses arrived at the church in a carriage pulled by two fine black horses.

The bride looked stunning in a delightful lace-covered dress.

After the marriage service the happy couple left for the reception in the horse-drawn carriage.

There were some interludes in the heavy showers, which enabled photos to be taken. Kathryn, now Mrs Kavanagh, is the youngest daughter of Ted and Jenny Whitfield.

Thank you to those who prayed for me during my recent 4 week stay in Kenya. I’m aware that there was a lot of media coverage of terrorist attacks and threats while I was there. Obviously, I was not in any danger in Bukoyani, but I must admit to feeling a little less relaxed than usual when I was in Nairobi. All the same, I would have been devastated if somebody had told me I had to go home 48 hours after I’d arrived!

I spent a few days in the capital, seeing Simwa and other friends before travelling by bus to Western Kenya. Leaving Nairobi at 8.00 am and arriving in Majengo at 5.00 pm, it took me some time to recover from that journey. The bus wasn’t

uncomfortable, but sitting for all those hours with only a 30 minute break at Nakuru, wasn’t good for me.

It was lovely to finally arrive at Fred & Keziah’s home, two years after I had last been there. I soon became involved in all the little dramas of family life there.

Sadly, the same day that I arrived, one of their daughters-in-law was admitted to Mbale Hospital. She was 6 months pregnant and had gone for a scan, only to be told that her baby had died in the womb. This was Anne’s third miscarriage and she was naturally very sad, as well as having to deal with all the physical discomfort. After 5 days at home, she came home for a few days before returning to

Nairobi to resume her teaching job.

The following week there was a happier occasion when the latest grandchild was baptised in church. Much to

everybody’s surprise, Collins (the baby’s father) had managed to get permission to come home for a few days (he is with the Kenya Army in Somalia until August). I was delighted that I had the unexpected opportunity to see him.

Most of my time in Bukoyani was quite relaxed, with informal visits for lunch or supper with local families and a couple of day trips to Kisumu and Kakamega, where I visited Western, one of our

formerly sponsored students, who is now in his 1st year at University studying Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. I was so encouraged to see this fruit of our Sponsorship Programme, and also very touched by the visit of Patrick Endeki (whose story

was featured in last month’s Mission Times) who came from Nakuru especially to see me, and Ronald Madero (son of Dishon Osore) who travelled even further - from Lamu to Nairobi - to see me before I left for home. Alex Obede, another

one of our sponsored students, is now a trained Electrician living in Nairobi, and I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon in the park with him and his little family.

myself and church leaders about the Youth Training Centre. I’m pleased to report that the building will be ready for use in the near future - they are hoping to enrol their first students in September. Bernard is the Chairman of this project and anxious that we should not have to wait too much longer to see results from our investment there.

Much of the communication around our assistance and the way it is given is done outside of official meetings with

various committees, in personal conversations during time spent with individuals, which is why the opportunity to spend weeks rather than days in the village is so valuable. It gives time for all concerned to weigh and respond to what

Peter’s mother is still with them, approaching her 100th year, but sadly affected by dementia. I visited them twice, and it was lovely on the second occasion to meet with Lornah, who some of you may remember - she visited us along with Peter in 1998 and remembered that time with much happiness.

The days passed very quickly, and all too soon I was packing my bags to leave. I couldn’t face the journey by road again, and booked a flight from Kisumu. Geoffrey, who had kindly travelled to Nairobi to escort me to Bukoyani, was rewarded with a ticket too!

Along with personal letters for some of you,

I was asked to carry “sacks and sacks of

is said, and also prevents burn-out from trying to accomplish too much in too short a time.

I found Archbishop Joseph Zare in relatively good health, attending and preaching at church services and funerals. He has a strong desire to leave a legacy from his time as leader of the Holy Spirit Church, and is meeting monthly with his Bishops (including Simwa, who is the Bishop of the Nairobi Diocese) to plan the way forward.

Albert is doing well. Although his whole family was sick with malaria while I was there, he looks very healthy and is hopeful of finding some paid employment in the Governor’s Office to support his family.

Peter and Judith Asava are well -

Come sit by my side

for a moment, Come tell me the things

that you know, My spirit is broken

within me, This sorrow just will

not let go.

They say you have found the solution,

Some “Jesus” they say, set you free, But see how I die in my sorrow

Please come share this Jesus with me.

Alone I’ve sought peace and contentment, Alone I have run from my fear,

And all that I’ve found in the process Is emptiness, anger and tears.

The peace in your life is apparent, No matter what life sends your way.

I envy the joy and assurance I hear in the things that you say.

I don’t understand though I try to What gives you the hope that I see, Cause I know the things you have

gone through How you’ve faced many struggles, like me.

They say I’ll never get to Heaven, They say that they won’t let me in.

It has something to do with your Jesus

And something to do with my sin.

I don’t understand what they’re saying But they say it’s for people

like you. I wish you would tell me your secret And show me the things I must do.

But if you indeed have the answer And still have not

shared it with me, Then all I can say

in my sorrow Is…

How could you do this to me?
