Visit from Derek and Allison Forbes






While Andy and his team were here with us, Derek and Allison also made their way to Exeter for a visit. It was so nice to see them as well. They visited from Chennai India where Derek serves with BGEA in preparations for an upcoming festival. They spent 6 days with us, a much needed 6 days on our behalf.

While they were here we made our way to Plymouth to the Mayflower Steps, a location very near where the pilgrims set sail to America in 1617. We were able to spend the day in Plymouth and see all the sites. Derek and Allison were a real encouragement to us, it was exciting to hear of all that the Lord is doing in their lives as well as their marriage.

Between the 2 teams that we had here, both were able to minister in very practical ways to the city. Derek and Allison as well as Jim and Mary were able to join us in ministering to the homeless, a much needed area of ministry. I pray that at some point the Lord will bring them back to Exeter to minister.

We love you guys and can't wait to see you again!
