We had a business session this afternoon which went well. We also had a photo opportunity at tea time. Then we had a news session featuring various items under the chairmanship of Stephen Rees.We began with Pastor Ismael Montejo being interviewed by Matt Gamston. Pastor Ismael is a pastor in the church in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines where I was last year. He is a fascinating fellow as he was converted while working as a young man in Saudi Arabia at a Filipino underground church. He spoke about the church there briefly and its various important ministries. Jim Sayers prayed.
We also had another opportunity to hear from Jeyakanth Selverajah who is currently in the UK because of the uncertain situation in Sri Lanka. This was supplemented by an introduction to Lanka Evangelical Fellowship by Barry Owen. John Hall prayed.
Then there was an encouraging report by Alec Taylor on the growing work with Pilgrim Bible Notes. There were also reports on the need for more room in Lower Ford Street in Coventry by Peter Cordle and the Open Air Mission by Geoff Cox. Jack Jenner closed the session in prayer. After he had done so Stephen was prompted to ask about Ulverston, where there is great need at present.
