As the work of Fields of Life continues to expand the Fields of Life family is also growing. We were delighted when Irene Nkolenta agreed to take on the role of Educational Officer with special responsibility for Christian Education. Keith has taken on the role of IT and Database Manager with special responsibility for the Vic-Ryn Administration.

In the Irish Office we are delighted to have Lindsay Davis helping in administration and Jeanette Gibson (part-time) in office management.

We were also delighted to welcome Fiona Ross to assist us in the community based health care programme at Rapha Medical Centre. Rapha Medical Centre is a ministry of Eden Revival Church in Uganda, which is supported by Fields of Life. Rapha is a 40 bed Medical Centre servicing three sub counties of Mpigi district. The centre has been operational from 2003.

To help integrate the community with the services offered at Rapha, a need for a community based health care programme was identified. Fields of Life were very happy to welcome Fiona Ross on board as a Mission Associate, to pioneer this community work.

Fiona comes from Ardnamurchin, Scotland and brings a wealth of community nursing experience with her, not just from the U.K. Fiona has already worked for 2 years in an orphanage near Luweero called New Hope, where she ran a clinic and looked after the nursing needs of the children.  This extensive knowledge of Ugandan culture, nursing and midwifery experience is supported by Fiona's strong faith in the Lord and His
clear call to the mission field.

Please pray for Fiona and her co-worker, a registered nurse called Sarah, as they embark on this new season for Rapha. The work will include health education programmes and maternal and child health clinics. Fiona has a real burden for those affected by HIV/AIDS and in the future we hope to see that side of the work develop.

If you would like to receive a prayer card/ letter from Fiona please contact our Portadown office.

We are thrilled to announce the birth of a baby boy to Paul and Veronica. We are also very excited for two weddings taking place this year. We extend our very best wishes to Milly and John who will be married in April and to Judith and Fred who will be married in December.
