What a night!

What an awesome evening we have just had at Cafe Africa. The event was set up to look at the work which Robyn Hammond is doing in Lesotho. We had over 200 people there which went beyond all expectations - and there was still plenty of cakes left at the end of the night! The live link with Robyn & Palesa went better than I could ever have hoped. We were able to speak together for about 20 minutes with plenty people asking questions through the mike. Iain Ross had wired up skype through the PA, so everybody could hear the conversation clearly. In Cahoots sang a great set of African songs, Julie Keen sang superbly as ever, accompanied beautifully by Stephen Hutchison and Rod MacLean gave an excellent overview of his recent visit to Lesotho. So many people played their part with technology, baking, setting up tables and serving. What a privilege to be part of such a great team event. The evening finished with live link prayers from Hilton for R&P, and prayers from R&P for Hilton. I can hardly believe it has all happened!

Just back from Hilton Church. It was amazing; the excitement in the room was palpable - hanging on every word of Robyn and Palesa.

Especially enjoyed the story of the "chicken in vinegar" :-)

Feeling uplifted and inspired by this evening.
