Evangelism is one of the commands Jesus gave His disciples and just because we are living nearly two thousand years after the command was given, we are not excused from it. Jesus said "Go into all the world and preach the gospel, and make disciples of all men."

The members at South Ruislip Christian Fellowship take this command seriously; so much so that some of them go to the other side of the world to obey. Late in 2003 one of our members returned from Papua New Guinea, and 2004 saw the return of one from Ghana and one from India. A further member has made three visits to Belarus. We also support a couple from South Africa who have been working in Albania and another couple left us in 2008 for Uganda.

Stewart and Carol e-mail us with their latest news and Jean has prepared a report on the 50th anniversary celebrations in PNG as well as her earlier Jean's Jottings June 2007, December 2007 and April 2008, an account of her Christmas in 1980 and Sivini's story. Jean has passed on a message she has received from friends in PNG about a cyclone which hit the area.
