I looked you straight in the eyes and said, 'I pray for you ever such a lot.' And you were, I think, pleasantly startled, and laughed and said something like: 'I definitely need it.'

It’s with a tinge of sadness I finish up at NZCMS this Friday after having been here for almost six years. One of the highlights of my time here would have to be attending our Hui in the Bay of Islands to commemorate the bicentenary of CMS mission to New Zealand. It was wonderful to get alongside so many members of the CMS family and celebrate this event.

I have really enjoyed meeting and getting to know so many of our supporters in person, by email and by telephone and it was always a pleasure to catch up with Mission Partners when they were home on deputation. I am looking forward to having a short break which includes a trip up to Whangarei before I look for further employment. Janet my replacement is settling in well and no doubt you will have the opportunity to connect with her sometime in the near future.
