On January 31^{st 2003} Younis left Bahrain after 15years faithful service as caretaker in our compound. We shall keep Younis in our prayers as he starts his new life with his family back in Pakistan.

On Sunday January 18^th we said farewell to Janneke and Eduard Bomhoff who arrived in Bahrain from the Netherlands. During their brief stay with us they made a deep impression and forged very meaningful and valuable relationships and contributions to the life of church and community. Just as they were feeling established, Eduard was called to new work in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the promise of good things here came to an end. We wish them well in their new life.
