On Saturday I courageously went south of the river to be at Summers Town Mission Evangelical Church in Tooting for a farewell service for Ravaka and Liz Rajo and their children Anna and Jonathan. The family do not actually return to Madagascar until September but this was a good time to hold such a meeting especially as veteran medical missionary to Madagascar, Dr David Mann, was able to preach (from Acts 13 and 14). David works at the Good News Hospital in Mandritsara. The meeting was chaired by the pastor Peter Bines. Summerstown is Liz's sending church. During language training she met Ravaka and for the last five years have been based here while Ravaka pursued theological studies. On their return Ravaka will become pastor of the church in Antsirabe with duties also in the nearby Baptist Seminary. It has been our privilege at Childs Hill to have them under our wing and we are going to greatly miss them on their return. Ravaka gave a presentation regarding the work both at Summerstown and then on Sunday evening at Childs Hill.
A blog featuring whatever I fancy, often on the Christian faith but not exclusively

Looking at your ever increasing list of blogs on the right, what happened to the one about CHBC's history?
Yes,a clear case of blogitis. I was busy doing a button for CHBC History when I had to head off west. It wasn't up to my exacting standards. But watch this space (or one nearby). Meanwhile google "childs hill baptist church history" and you'll find it.
Another problem - the psalms and hymns blog link goes to the wrong blog!
