Sally-Jayne Gallagher arrives!


It was 4.15am on the 20th June 09 when Sally-Jayne let out her first shreik, was put on Jo's chest, opened her eyes to stare in Jo's for just a moment before she was promptly whisked away to be examined!

Everything was fine, so equally as promptly she was given back to Jo for some mother-daughter bonding. Jo did really well, delivering in under 6 hours with no pain relief!

Sally-Jayne is now settling in well and the center of everyones attention. She's already playing and she already knows what she wants! She's had nearly 30 visitors, and absolutely adores being held.

Thanks for all your support and prayer, we know Jesus was with us in the delivery ward.

Appearing on TV!

On the 17th June 2009 I will be on Revelation TV! I'm being interviewed on the programme that runs from 2-3pm about my faith, the work Jo and I do in Malawi and there may even be a live phone in!

Pray for me as this is very new territory!

Webby News

We are so excited to have finished our first newsletter, and got our website going! If you would like a copy of the news letter, please get in contact with me and I'll email you one. If you would like to check out the website go to: www.tomandjo.org .

Today is finally the day that Jo's baby is due! Right now no signs, so don't expect anything soon, but hopefully it won't take too long. She is well, and out having coffee (decaf. I hope!) with a couple of friends at the moment.

My work on the farm has come to a brief halt. The new farm manager has started now, but it turns out the educational coordinator is leaving in three weeks, and so I'll be covering her role until they find someone permanent! I've also got the odd days work here and there taking animals out to shows and things for them.

Today Tom and Ali husbands, along with their kids, should be landing in England. They run the Dalitso trust in Malawi, who we work very closely with, and are great friends of ours. They are back for a holiday and it will be so nice to have them around when we have our baby!

That's all for now - check out our website and give me some feedback

Welcome

You have found Tom's Blog!

I'm part of New Generation Church (www.newgen.org.uk) in the United Kingdom. I passionately believe in Church, love Jesus and am wondering about the various things I could write here. This used to be a blog for our updates from Malawi when Jo and I were missionaries to Flood Church.
