Dear all – this is the email I have been longing to send you……Dinger has been released!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your prayers and words of encouragement these past few weeks.  Miriam is delighted at being reunited with her husband and they are making their way back to Lima, where no doubt the children will also be overjoyed to see their Dad.  Miriam says she can’t find the words to express her gratitude to all her friends in England who have walked through this painful chapter with her – I am excited at the thought of them being back together and busy for the Lord in their various activities.  Dinger witnessed to so many people in prison and I pray that there will be lasting fruit – God knows why He allowed this to happen.  The enemy might have meant it for evil, but God has certainly used it for good.
A big thank you to you all once again.
