It’s only a few days since we last wrote . . . but we want to update you about the elections in Chad and ask for your prayers and support. Due to the potential for breakdown in security during these presidential elections it seemed best for Margaret to leave the country.

Your contact details will be removed from the database once you are no longer a member of the church – unless you ask to remain as one of our “church friends”. We would like to include your name and contact details in our Church Directory which will be accessible through ChurchSuite .
