RECONNECTING WITH THE LIVESEYS
We had a wonderful visit with a very special missionary couple, Noel and Jean Livesey, this past Sunday. Noel and Jean have been our mission partners for over 4 decades already, starting out in the Philippines with OMF (Overseas Mission Fellowship), through to their current base in Hermanus. Here they head up Celebrate Recovery South Africa (www.celebraterecovery.co.za). Noel is now pioneering the work into our neighbouring countries, heading to Namibia and Lesotho this month.
It was a precious time of reconnecting with these long-time friends. They joined us at the 08:30 service and the missions prayer meeting afterwards. Noel testified to the great need for emotional and physical healing in their area of work and how Celebrate Recovery keeps Jesus central to this ministry. The couple remain passionate and full of energy for the work God has led them to. After the prayer meeting, we continued with good fellowship over tea (and cake, of course) at the Allen’s home.
We were grateful to touch base with this faithful couple after so many years. Noel says, “We loved being with you. We are so blessed and encouraged after the worship, the message, the prayer time and the fellowship. Thank you for all you do for us.”
We thank God for this partnership and continue to pray for His blessing on it in the years ahead. May His kingdom come and will be done by His gracious working through them and us.
