THE GROWING relationship between the Presbytery of North Queensland and the United Church of Papua New Guinea (PNG) enabled Rev Samson Lowa, his wife Jessie and two adult children to enjoy a week of rest and renewal with Rev Malcolm and Judy Bottrill at Lake Eacham in the Atherton Tablelands.
Mr Lowa has been on leave since suffering a stroke on 3 May.
The Bottrill’s home, in a rainforest setting, has given them peace, quiet and safety.
Mr Bottrill said to witness Mr Lowa’s daily journey of healing and to share faith and rich relationships was a great joy.
In 1997 Mr Lowa and Mr Bottrill studied peace building, reconciliation and mediation at the Alan Walker College in New South Wales.
In 1999 Mr Bottrill led a team to Bougainville (PNG) doing post-trauma counselling, peace building, mediation and reconciliation.
