This has been a hectic month so far but at the same time filled with many blessings. Our Land Rover went into the workshop to have it's engine overhauled. We should be getting it back at the end of the week. We are very thankful to God for the faithfulness of his people who have contributed to having the engine repaired. Thanks so much to all of you.
We were able also to have our eyes tested and new glasses. It is so good to be able to see things that are not in a haze or blur. Thanks so much Deidre, you guys are such a blessing! Dawn and I have both had quite a lot of dental work done and are starting to get back to normal. I have been to the chiropractor a few times to try and get my neck and back into line again. They have been out of line for so long that skew feels almost normal.
We have been to many prayer meetings and have had the opportunity to share at a number of Churches. Thank you for having us over we have made many new friends and look forward to keeping in contact with you.

Prayer needed
As we visit and share all over South Africa, pray that God would protect us and that we would be able to ignite a passion for mission in Mozambique.
With the new Mossurize Ndau Team coming together we are going to need much help with building of new housing (6 houses will need to be built) not all at once but quite soon. AIM Mozambique has opened a project to raise funds for the building of these houses.
If you feel that God is directing you towards being involved in this ministry.
For financial contributions please contact Jill at finance.sa@aimint.net & quote project number SR-MOZ-152-U
But if you would like to be involved in a building team from February 2010 onwards please contact us on jdreyneke@aimint.net
HOME ASSIGNMENT
Why have we gone on home assignment?
There have been some fantastic developments in the Mossurize district. A team of missionaries are going to be coming together to minister in the district. Why? Since we arrived in Espungabera in January 2002 God has been building His Church. And Dawn and I have been running to try & keep up with the Lord. We at times have felt so overwhelmed at the hunger for God and His Word. We have been used by God to plant 11 Churches but we have now got to a point where we have to stop planting Churches. Because we are unable to disciple the leaders and potential leaders in each of the Churches.
That is why the MOSSURIZE NDAU TEAM is coming together. So that we can do the work well and disciple the churches properly and to build Christ centered Churches among all African people. We have been witness to see God at work in bringing together this team. Walter and Rosie McCorkell are the first to join up and we expect them around October 2010. This is going to mean that Dawn and I will take on a new role of being team leaders and being the "gap" people for the new missionaries. Please pray for this.
We are at the moment in South Africa visiting our supporting Churches and many friends who have been a major port of our ministry in Mozambique. Please pray with us that as we visit and share what God is doing that we would be able to improve our financial situation. We had run out of work funds in October 2008.
Our Land Rover is at the moment in the workshop to have the engine overhauled, our vehicles take a beating all the time. The roads never seem to get any better but steadily worse and worse.

In Espungabera
The outreach team again came with a bounty of energy. Some of the younger guys got stuck in with a building project. We have been trying a little by very little to build the pastors manse. But then all the help arrived.
There was such a hive of activity going on and in no time the walls were going up. A few of the girls tried their hand at brick laying as well. The result of some interest and some enthusiasm is shown in the middle pic.
We now are ready to start the roof. Making the roof trusses, then putting up the roof sheeting. (corrugated iron) But that is going to need money again. So we now are waiting on the Lord to provide for the next stage, roofing and then we will need to put in windows, doors and floors. Wow! God has done so much in such a short time & we have had the privilege of being His hands and feet on earth! How cool is that!
