Ministry in Australia

A post script for our children

You may find that you are not mentioned enough in my memoirs. Maybe this is a valid criticism, but I would like to point out, that throughout your childhood it was Mum who was always around you, she looked after you like no other, and your Mum was and still is the centre of our family. In her selfless way she never complained, even when the burden laid heavily upon her. Often I was away when a crisis erupted, or I was too busy. She made quick decisions and acted upon them. Without her I could have done nothing. If I have achieved anything in my life, it is mostly thanks to her, for standing by me, for supporting me, for looking after me in such a wonderful way. I will never be able to thank her enough for what she has done. This is why, out of a deeply felt gratitude, I would like to dedicate this book to your Mum, my beloved Alison.
