Lisburn missionary, Naomi Keefe, daughter of the Rev John Keefe, was the guest speaker at the evening service in Sloan Street Presbyterian Church on Sunday 2nd September. Naomi, who last left Lisburn in April 2005, has been working for the past 2' years as a missionary in Recife (Brazil). After a well-earned break home, she returned to Brazil on Monday afternoon 3rd September to continue her work among the rubbish tip community.

Naomi based her address on John 15 v 5, 'I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit.' Explaining that the branch of a tree will only produce fruit if it is connected to the tree, she emphasised the importance of the branches (Christians) being connected to the tree (Jesus) and producing fruit (the spirit of love, joy and peace). Giving an interesting slide presentation of her missionary work she showed some of the people and families (the branches) that she ministers to in Brazil. Naomi concluded by praying that they will become connected to the tree (Jesus) and as Christians, live in Jesus and bear much fruit.
