Some of you may not know that Doug got a job, in late November, before returning to the UK for the Christmas and New Year period!

This was a real answer to prayer after many months of unemployment, voluntary work and, ermmm, “husbandry”, as Rachel likes to call it! Thank you if you were praying. Although God has a funny way of working sometimes…

News of the job came from a reliable although rather unexpected source, Joy, Doug’s sister. But within 2 days, he had confirmed employment, 2 days a week, for a trial period of 3 months! Perhaps God also has a sense of humour? Doug is working in cooperation and, sometimes (although i’m not sure he’d admit it), under the direction of Joy, at Christian Resources Exhibitions, an organisation which organises three exhibitions a year around the UK, which bring together suppliers to the Christian market (designers, furniture makers, DVD and media sellers etc) and the Christian community (leaders and individual Christians).

“How can Doug do this from Chile?” you might ask. In the same way as we operate this website, Doug is responsible for the maintenance, operation and upgrade of the CREonline website. This can be done almost entirely remotely, despite the difference in hours.

He is really enjoying the job so far. The design and development of the new website is a real challenge for him and has tapped into some of his project management skills, learned as a consultant almost 2 years ago.

More than that, he is just delighted to have his own wage slip and therefore the sense of responsibility (read into that freedom to spend!) he thrives upon.
