[Magdalen] Business turning point - prayers requested

[Sally Davies]

Dear friends

A request from my DH Keith, who is once again winging his way across the
country tomorrow for yet another meeting or set of meetings...

Story too long to tell here but for the past two or three years his audio
training company has been trapped in a business relationship with a related
company that is personally and financially toxic. The strain has been great
but through patient diplomacy, attention to detail, answered prayer and
sheer good luck, they're still there and still trading.

Not only that, but they have upcoming contracts and have been able to build
relationships in the industry, attracting more work. Although Keith has a
successful freelance career as well, which he enjoys and must maintain to
keep his skills up to date, this training consortium is his passion and
joy, and what he wants to do more than anything else. He just loves to
develop other sound engineers; and there's no shortage of work if the
obstacles can be shifted out of the way.

He asks your prayers for a final breakthrough (or maybe "breakout")...now
that I think the metaphor through, it DOES feel a bit like digging a long
tunnel out of a prison cell whilst at the same time concealing the process
and trying to look normal!

Tomorrow's meetings look as though they might bring about the beginning of
the end, if not the end in itself - devoutly to be wished but also in such
a way that relationships are preserved for the future, important in such a
small industry.

Thank you...off to bed now...

Sally
