The mailing for October & November has left the office, but where in the world does it go? Here is a world map with the countries coloured, not the green base, to show you.

What’s New
Over the last few weeks we have been working on layout and contents of this site. The primary aim has been to build up a LIBRARY features.
We have begun to add the text of Booklets, and Book Chapters when they are available and will continue to add more when they are ready.
Another part of this upgrade is the Audio Library. This route leads to those messages, mainly by Maurice Paine and taken from his booklets, that were broadcast.
These two work together often giving you the option to LISTEN to the message and/or READ the booklet.
DROP DOWN MENU
More options have been added. One example is that the LISTEN AGAIN service is now directly available from that menu. [The current access via the LISTEN page will be closed soon]
Audio Library
We have started to add Audio files from the radio broadcasts. The new Audio Library can be accessed via the drop down LISTEN menu on the top bar. The plan is to add all available files over the coming months to give access to a list of helpful Bible Study material written and narrated by Maurice Paine.
The files contain the message section not the whole programme.
Website Update Phase 1
Phase 1 – Theme change should happen on Monday 4th June. During the following weeks we will be dealing with snags first so that the current content can still be viewed and then introducing the new designs and features.

Charly Tom – Visit to UK
It has been good to met up with Charly Tom during his recent visit to the UK and catch up on the news from the Mercy Mission site. The work of the school and orphanage continues to be highly valued.
BAM’s main connection is support for the Theological Seminary (Bible College). Since its start in 2000 it has helped train approximately 400 pastors/Christian workers. This year sadly they were not able to find places for all who wanted to attend because of the lack of accommodation for the male students. They currently have to use three ‘class rooms’ as dormitories, which not only affects how many students they can take but has a negative impact on the teaching too.
There is a real and urgent need to solve this problem by completing the upper floor of the bible college. Please pray for the funds needed to help move this important work forward.
