great mesh of providing both spiritual and
physical food.
Many thanks to those in the East Anglian eccle-
sias who donated clothes which Roy brought
over with him. Joseph has a great pastoral
responsibility now, which he takes very seri-
ously. We would like to repeat this program,
but there is real potential here for some to go
live there for a few months and do great
things. We are praying the Lord will raise up
someone. We drove to the beach one day with
our contacts, and held an open air baptism
service at a cafe and then baptized Augustin,
Michael, Wisdom, Victor, Terry and Peter.
Bro Wisdom was a great help teaching us how
to prepare and cook yams and plantain,
pictured below. They all have amazing stories
of their journeys across the Sahara, the night-
mare of life in Libya and the migrant prisons
there, and then the
equally nightmare
journey across the
Mediterranean to
Sicily or Lampe-
dusa. Bro Wisdom’s
boat capsized and
he was rescued,
actually by a British
boat, who then
passed him over to
the Italian coast-
guard. His testi-
mony is recorded -

Migrant Feeding, Italy:
There were many genuine expressions of
thanks for all the meals and support.
Thank you all so much for enabling this and for
your prayers. Clearly the Lord’s hand is active
in all these lives. There we were on a moun-
tain top in rural Italy with fantastic views,
cooking yams and fellowshipping together with
a group of 17 or so Africans. We put together
a video of the Lord’s work at the link below.
We really recommend you have a look and
share this and try to drum up support for what
is really a very effective way of both caring
and preaching.
