In 2005 just before we came to France people the mission sent round an email reminding people that the Keswick Convention has a fund to enable missionaries to attend the convention. I phoned the convention office and we ended up spending a super week in a little cottage next door to some actors who were in a musical comedy at the theatre. The conference sessions were great. The kids benefited from their sessions. The afternoon on mission was helpful. And Keswick is great.
They like people to wait four years before applying for another grant but last year we didn't come to the UK in the summer. We hope to this year, and so I contacted the Convention office - to begin with all their grants were allocated but they must have had a cancellation - and so it is that we plan to attend once more, in the sodden beauty of the lakes.
In 2005 Alan, Pat, Gwilym & Catrin Davey moved from North East Wales to Bordeaux. Alan is a pastor and Pat was a nurse. Now we work with UFM worldwide. Read on! (If you'd like to know what took us to Bordeaux, then start with the archives from September 2004)

Brilliant - Shame you won't be at New Word Alive though...
Yeah - but the list of conferences we'd like to go to or that we ought to go to is long !
I guessed as much... :)
Thanks for the tip, will keep that in mind for the future.
