Miriam & Owen Pugh, and their family, are currently preparing to serve God in Tanzania with Africa Inland Mission International (AIM) as part of a TIMO team.

Latest News: July 2010 
This is a time for us of getting down to the business of the details…

There is still much to be done in terms of clearing our house, finishing our studies, sorting out the finer details of home schooling, communicating to people, and so on. We have seen many tremendous- at times surprising- opportunities, help and support from people.

It has definitely also been a time for TALKING- an occupation particularly close to Miriam’s heart!  In June, Thursday Club gave us a chance to talk about what we were going to do- this involved the children as well as Owen and Miriam.  Miriam had the opportunity to talk to prayer groups, a youth group, and a year 8 group from a local secondary school about mission and specifically the work amongst the Wasi.  We have also found ourselves chatting about the Wasi at most social gatherings we have attended in the last months (!) and it has been an honour to see people engaging with the Wasi in many ways- Miriam had a commitment to pray for us from a complete stranger at one of the children’s sports presentations just a few days ago!

We have also had lots of amazing encouragements in terms of financial support.  In the few months since March, we have seen different people and churches give generously to us.  But we are not there yet.

We do now have a deadline of July 31^st, by which our support needs to be either given or pledged.  This is a significant date for us, because if we still have insufficient funds on that date, we will not be able to go to Tanzania at the end of September.  But in all this we are confident that God is faithful and it is GOOD to learn how to trust more!!

If you would like to be part of what we are doing, either in prayer or financially, do come and speak to us. Or, you can download our information leaflet, Standing Order and Gift Aid forms below.
