Anna is unwell - again.

Today we had to take Anna down to the hospital. She began to vomit yesterday afternoon and had eye pain on looking to one side but it settled in the evening. On waking up this morning the area around her left eye was swollen. This suggests a potentially serious complication of her sinus surgery some weeks ago. She has just been wheeled in to have an emergency MRI. Please can you pray for strength and comfort for her (and the rest of the family). We will let you know the outcome as soon as we can.

I also had my six-monthly check-up with the cardiologist today so it was quite a stressful day. However, he decided to stop my heart medication and review me in six months. This is a great encouragement so we praise God for that.

All this comes in the middle of last-minute planning and preparation for the Joint Mobilisers and Candidate Co-ordinators conference with more than 70 people descending on us for a week of training and discussion as we continue to work out the implications of the call to prayer for 900 new workers. We feel caught up into a battle. We humbly ask your prayers for that consultation - for a deeper sense of unity and a greater desire to seek God glorified in East Asia through the declaration of what Jesus has achieved on the cross. Pray too that we would be able to play our part in it.

With our love

Steve, Anna, Joshua and Aimée
