Carelinks | Latvia ... continued
On the 28th February special group
prayers were made during the UK Con-
ference for the work in Latvia and on
the next day they began to have a won-
derful answer. A total of five of our vis-
itors came forward to be baptized. It
was with great joy that we witnessed
the baptisms of Artem, Aleksei, Erik,
Yuri and Vladimir.
Sisters Hilary Knight and Jackie Sprigg
demonstrated what older folks can do,
labouring so hard in the kitchen for two
weeks - and if you too feel inspired to
help, then do let us know. They were
especially overjoyed at the baptisms.

W
e have over the years mentioned the
case of our sister, a New Zealander bap-
tized by us in prison in Japan some years ago,
after coming across and studying Bible
Basics. Sister Helen Pyper has done a
huge amount for her over the years she’s
been serving a long prison sentence in
Japan. Soon after entering prison she
gave birth to a child,
who was taken to New Zealand and has
grown up there. Now we are delighted to
report that our sister has been released and
returned to New Zealand. As you can
imagine, the raft of issues and emotions
facing this young sister (only 18 and
pregnant when she was jailed in Japan)
are absolutely huge.
Please, do pray for her.
