Second report on our Europe Trip

Our second Sunday of ministry went very well at Bristol - at the Ivy Church in the morning and at the PHC in the evening. Both services were really blessed. We got back to London about 10pm.

On the following morning we got up at 5:15am  and headed for Heathrow at 6:45am in good time for our flight to Zurich. Liz's brother and his wife met us at the airport in Switzerland, and from there we headed for the Alps having a picnic on the side of a beautiful lake on the way. We arrived at Tschiertschen late afternoon at an altitude of 1,528 metres. A place of absolute beauty, silence, cleanliness, nature and peace.

In Switzerland we have walked quite a lot in the mountains. We also met with a man who contributes each year to EAB's Christmas hampers project and were able to show him some videos of the work in Brazil.

Yesterday we travelled by bus down from the Alps to Chur in the valley below where we caught the Bernina Express train which, in a 4 hour journey, goes up (to over 2,200 metres in altitude) and down through the Alps, and ends at Tirano in Italy where we had lunch. We later made the same journey back to Liz's brother's mountain home at Tschiertchen at around 8pm. It was a long day (we were up at 5am) but one of stunningly beautiful scenery beyond imagination!

Today we have done some more walking and relaxing at Tschiertchen and tomorrow we travel to Winterthur near Zurich where Sam (Liz's brother) has another house. There we will have a meeting with other people who annually support the EAB Christmas Hamper project and show them a video of the work. On Saturday, Liz's birthday, we spend half the day in Switzerland and then head back to the UK where we will be ministering at Bethel Chapel, Verwood on Sunday morning.

We are very grateful to Liz's brother and sister-in-law Sam & Gerti Dyer for providing this lovely week's break for us in Switzerland without any cost for us, and also to Liz's sister Eunice and brother-in-law Jon for renting us a car in the UK also at no cost for us. May God richly bless them.
