Jim Paul

This is Jim Paul who heads up L'Abri England. A most impressive man. He is a former doctor who has trained at Cornhill and Proclamation Trust before moving to serve at L'abri.

He was very generous with his time meeting with Sandra and I to talk. His humility very much struck us and we felt we could have spent so much more time with him. His lovely wife was the first person we met upon arriving.

I was very impressed with his honesty when speaking about the strengths and weaknesses of his ministry. His work has so manys similarities to the work of Golden Grove... Not the least his responsibility for an old building with a seemingly endless need of maintenance.

While there we sat in on two separate discussions he led on Copernicus and Matthew chapter 5.

You can see from the second photo the timetable for Monday... Prayer, work, study, rest, tea, music and food. What's not to like?

Accommodation is not five star (truth be told it's closer to the other end of the spectrum) and the food is simple (lots of legumes - I must admit I loved every dish)... But L'Abri makes it up and more with the community, learning and opportunity to take time out.

Very thankful to God for the opportunity to spend time at this wonderful place.
