Dear Prayer Partner,
Having just returned from an exciting and intense 12 day visit to Zambia with Chris Byrne (HHI UK Trustee), it was not difficult to write for this edition of ‘Prayer Partners’. We encountered great needs and we saw so much worthwhile work being done. There is much for us to pray about.
As I was typing away in the HHI office, trying to convey to you the need to pray for the plight of a widow whose home is without light because all her windows are bricked up, there was a knock on the office door and a supporter came in and asked me if we would have any use for four unused oak windows, which he has in his basement!
In the same afternoon, after speaking to folk in Monze, it became apparent that new wiring and electric fittings are desperately needed in the workshops. Later in the same day, I opened the post and read how the parents of the Birmingham nurses (now safely returned to the UK) would like to contribute some funding towards the rewiring of the premises!
I have been in awe and wonder at such direct answers to prayers, and it tells me that God is strengthening our work. He is certainly involved with every part of HHI.
1 John 5:14-15:
We have courage in God’s presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will. He hears us whenever we ask him; and since we know this is true, we know also that he gives us what we ask from Him.
Thank you for all your prayers, and thanks too to Brian and Edmund for contributing to this edition of ‘Prayer Partners’.
Together in His service,
Jute.

Zambian trustees
The Zambian trustees came together with the senior management team and the acting director Mr Maninga during our August visit to Monze. This was a wonderful occasion for all concerned as it was the first time for Chris Byrne and me to meet many of these trustees face to face.
We certainly were impressed that everyone had made an effort to come from many miles away to share thoughts and ideas for the future of HHI in Zambia.
Our time together was started in prayer by Pastor Fundi (second from right) and we spoke about many of the needs that we aim to address in the forthcoming months, including the constitution, resources, income generation and, above all, our flourishing charitable work.
We are asking you to pray this week for their strength and for God to guide them at all times in their discussions and decision making. It is important that HHI is governed successfully, as we are constantly reminded that the HHI’s activities in Zambia and India are God’s work.
