Malvern Mission
In less than two days, eleven members of the malvern congregation will be setting out for India. For the next three weeks we'll be working with orphans, the disabled and various others in an attempt to make even a small difference in their quality of life.
For us, the past few months has been full of fundraising, until we finally met our goal and could begin to think about what we would actually be doing when we left. For me, at least, things haven't quite sunk in yet and i'm sure that when i get to the airport i'm going to feel completely different about the trip than i do now.
We're starting this blog so that we can record our thoughts and activities while we're away and as a way to keep in touch with everyone back home. Hopefully, through it, you'll be able to understand a little bit more about what we're doing, how it's affecting us and how your support from home is just as important as our being there.
Wish us luck!

Hey guys, may God's blessing be huge, and the fruits awfully tasty! Look after little Benji!
Love you guys- you will be in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Remember the colour YELLOW- and know my thoughts,prayers and love for your guidance will be with you.
When you feel frustrated, risk losing "it", "it's all too hard", patience is thin,"think Yellow" and I know God will encourage and guide you.
Much love and prayers Margie
Goodluck guys!!!!! xoxo
