Haiti !
Great to see you Murray. It is somewhat easier for us to envisage the devastation after our Christ Church event. Although most homes stood thay are repidly being condemend and pulled down. So the city is in a huge mess and many business are at a stand still. However we did not have the loss of life. So the time of the day and better home construction possibly saved that. Truly God was gracious to us. Christian people are acknowledging that. Always good to have an update. Mum.
Good on you Murray. Obviously good engineering, construction etc makes a massive difference as we see from the contrasting results of the Haiti and Christchurch earthquakes which were of about the same richter scale magnitude I understand. We're hoping to get to Paris after seeing you in Kenya next year, God willing. So it's nice to see those photos de la Tour Eiffel.
just like Christchurch! The picture of the collapsed house reminds me of what we have seen over the last day or two of the collapsed and damaged buildings from the Christchurch earthquake. And it made me realise how lucky we are to have the infrastructure and resources to deal with disasters ourselves, advantages they do not have in Haiti.
ps. The Eiffel tower looks nice too, especially at night.
Thanks Sounds like you did all the really important things in Geneva. Good that you brought some chocolate home. And that you arrived safely home from North Sudan. People who work there long term must be very special

Hi the Burt family, its always a pleasure to receive updates on your mission Murray but more importantly how you're keeping - the little girls have grown so fast, haven't they? And Miriam is never without company while the man of the family is away at work! Always remember you in our daily prayers, doing relief work all over the globe! Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Fa'api'o xox :o)
Has Murry got a competition going were he is trying to visit as many places he can in the shortest possible time?
Great to see and hear what you are up to. Keep up the good work great to see someone on the front line helping in countries not as well off as we are.
Love the Sunscreen Cool photos. I see they still have the sunscreen/sap/mud that they put on their kids. Something to show Charlotte if she complains next time it is sunny!
I saw some biosand filters that we are sending to schools in Cambodia for classroom water fountains. They seemto work well.
Our overseas move started in 2005, with a brief vacation in India. Then we joined the Tsunami relief team in Sri Lanka for a couple of years. We were then based in Nairobi, Kenya for 9yrs. Then based in Geneva, Switzerland for the past 4 years with Murray in a global role still travelling around to the hot spots. Now back in our home country of NZ, keen to explore the beauty and adventure NZ has to offer.... full info
