Introducing...<br />
The Barr<br />
Family<br />
“Hi, we are the<br />
Barrs: Rob, Katherine,<br />
Alisha (11) and<br />
Abigail (8). We live<br />
in Gore, which is<br />
in the deep south<br />
of New Zealand,<br />
where Rob works<br />
as an accountant<br />
and Katherine is the manager of Manna Christian<br />
Bookshop. Last year, God spoke to us and said<br />
that he was sending us to Burkina Faso (West<br />
Africa), a country that, at the time, we knew nothing<br />
about. Rob will be the Treasurer of the SIM<br />
Burkina office. We have been amazed by how God<br />
has confirmed His calling and are very excited<br />
about how God will use all four of us in this new<br />
adventure with Him. Our sending Church family is<br />
Calvin Community Church in Gore.”<br />
Jo Wallace<br />

Bingham Academy in<br />
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,<br />
since August 2013.<br />
At a recent SIM NZ<br />
Board meeting she was<br />
accepted as a Member.<br />
We would like to congratulate<br />
Jo and Medan on their engagement and<br />
as they look forward to getting married on July 8<br />
in Invercargill. Jo will also be support-raising for<br />
the next phase of her mission service at Bingham.<br />
Please continue to pray for Jo and Medan.<br />
