Ruth Radley, our link missionary based in Yei, Southern Sudan, continues to keep us fully informed about her life and work there. She has just sent a long update which is displayed on the Mission News Board and is well worth reading. In brief, she is rejoicing at having recently returned from a holiday in Uganda with her mother. The Sunday school teacher training with which she is involved has got off to a good start and the Pastors' workshop in August was a positive time. Ruth's passion for children's work has found an excellent outlet in the devotions which she is conducting in a nursery school and she is thrilled to have been asked to be Godmother to a Kenyan baby girl. Ruth is very appreciative of our interest and prayers and is grateful that prayer has been answered for her back pain which has eased considerably.

Ania Cannon, our link London City Missionary, thanks us for our response to the appeal for donations to Webber Street (the LCM centre for the homeless in Waterloo). These were in kind and money and a photograph of our food collection is on the Mission News Board. Ania and her husband Andrew spent three and a half weeks in Poland with Ania's family and friends during August, but Ania is now involved in her schools work again. She asks us to pray for the following:
Ania is very grateful for our prayers and support and will be speaking at the first of three open days which LCM is holding again this year. Each day includes visits to two or three of the LCM centres and these will be held on three Saturdays — 26 September, 10 October and 24 October. If you are interested in attending any of these open days, please speak to Eileen Graham who will give you further details.

Donations of tools that are no longer wanted and vests for children continue to come and are much appreciated. The list of items which TWAM can use is on the Mission News Board. During the past few months, members of St Botolph's have given an old typewriter, a number of tools and beautifully knitted little jumpers. Please remember TWAM if you are moving house or find you have no further use for items such as bicycles and sewing machines.
