We were able to rejoice together in the many ways that God is continuing to bless and strengthen the Langham ministries in so many countries.
I was able to bring him greetings from many friends around the world, and it was heart-warming to see the encouragement this gives him.
The cloister
John is increasingly frail and particularly unsteady on his feet (he walks with a 'rollator'). Yet he is determined to bring a word from the Lord to the Keswick Convention in July, at what will almost certainly be his last public address.
He will need to be sustained by the prayers of God's people for that occasion on July 17th - both in the preparation of his message, which is occupying most of his thoughts at present, and in the physical demands of delivering it.
I walked back to the little railway station in the after-lunch sunshine, leaving Uncle John to his customary siesta, with thanks to God that he is settling in, making friends, and being well-cared for in a loving Christian community, with high quality medical care close on hand.
We can all join with him in recognising the good hand of God in this provision.
