Looming Famine 

Thank you again to those who gave. One mission partner wrote: ‘We had an exciting day on Friday distributing this food to 94 members of staff. Some were in tears and all were amazed that God had heard their prayers in such a miraculous way.’ Please continue to pray for those who are still struggling. 

RIP 

Elizabeth (Betty) Cartwright died in June 06 in Donegal, Ireland. She and her husband Peter were with BCMS in Karamoja, Uganda 1953-64. Betty developed the Lotome Teacher Training College and Peter built many schools and churches. They left a valuable godly legacy.
