I went with my grandfather and Enid to visit Helen this afternoon. She is making excellent progress, and is able to lean on one of her legs and move about using a zimmer frame. This is a big step for her, because her mum was worrying how she would cope with Helen at home on her own. It was good seeing her, and she has many visitors coming to see her every day. While we were there, several others also called in to see her. And she is keeping in very good form and has been since the accident, and credits that to those who have prayed for her. Thank-you to all who have prayed for her, God has done great things for her.

About the other stuff, thanks for your emails of support. Although I feel down about disunity, and in an ideal world Christians would behave as such, I think it's best not to make a big fuss over it. I was going to speak to my grandfather about it going up to the hospital today, but I read a Scripture before I came out, about King Hezekiah and Rabshakeh's letter of reproach. Perhaps there are some things men can deal with, and some others that are better left to the Lord.

Isaiah 37:14
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

I have received this email from Helen tonight, praise God she will be coming home. Thank you for all who have prayed for her recovery, and continue to pray for her as she travels home and gets back on her feet. God bless. 

Dear All,

Just to let you know, we will be leaving Jo'burg on Tuesday 30 October 2007, arriving home Wednesday sometime in the afternoon I will be 'deposited' at the Royal Victoria Hospital and have no idea which Ward I'll be in. If you wish to know, please contact Mum next Wednesday evening and she'll probably be able to tell you!

So that's it - be nice to get home. Please pray for us as the journey is long and tedious. Travelling Lufthansa via Frankfurt - Dublin and by ambulance to Belfast. I'll be on a stretcher, so it's OK for me! That's all for now! Maybe see some of you next week, I hope - don't leave me languishing in the Royal!

Bye for now. Love Helen (and Mum).

As some of you may be aware, my auntie Pamela and uncle Desi Fisher have started up an organization called Adventure Leadership Training. I helped them to create a website. ALT is a Christian charity based in Northern Ireland which aims to build teamwork and leadership qualities in an environment people can enjoy. ALT has been donated a four acre plot of land in the heart of the Mourne Mountains, on which we are planning to build a facility that can be used by the local community for a drop-in centre, respite care for broken families, and as a base for Christian groups on activity weekends. I have uploaded a video of the planned development on YouTube, which was created by the BBC during the filming for the "Born Again" documentary.
