Mission Partners
Bridget Hathaway:
 I am thankful that I nearly managed to complete my time in Burundi despite
the uncertain political situation. The Bethesda Team worked hard so, amongst
other things, we managed to complete a 3 year programme plan and a
budget for the first year. Praise God!
 The planned 2 day epilepsy seminar had to be delayed due to the unrest. It
was rescheduled for last week and we had almost completed all the teaching
when the coup took place. Please pray that the community dispensary staff
will remember and practice what they learned despite the tensions at the
time.
 The Burundian people are living with a strong underlying fear that the
political troubles will turn into tribal violence. Please pray that people will
seek peace and not revenge and that the President’s armed Youth Militia
would be withdrawn from service. (That needs a miracle!)
 I am tired but am thankful I kept clear of sickness whilst away. Pray I can
enjoy a week’s holiday and can ‘recharge my batteries’!
