Please continue to pray

This is the first of 6 foundations which need to be built upon. Praise God! New missionaries will be arriving. And we need to get housing ready for them. Dawn and I will be leading a new team. The emphasis will be on discipleship. We have not been able to get to do a good job of discipleship with the leaders of the 11 Churches. They are scattered far and wide. As a team we want to mature the local Church.

Aim
(Africa Inland Mission) has a project registered SR-MOZ-152-U for partnership and donations towards this building project. Please would you consider consider being part of the infrastructure team.

Where on the trail are we?

Dawn and I are in Welkom at the moment. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon. We have been blessed with a wonderful place to stay while we are here. We are staying a the home of Chris & Lee. It's so great to stay with folks who love Jesus. On Sunday morning I have been given the privilege to preach and Dawn to take the Sunday school lesson. We will leave here on Monday morning and head back to Pretoria again.

As soon as we arrive we will need to pick up a few items that we have ordered in Pretoria. Then we will need to begin packing the trailer and bakkie. Dawn's dad Jim will be arriving on Monday afternoon by bus in Pretoria at about 5pm. We have convinced him that he needs to come with us to Mozambique for a quick 1 week visit. We ought to arrive in Espungabera on 21st and we leave again on the 28th. On the 30th we leave from Pretoria for Cape Town for the month of November.

Election time again

Would you please add to your prayer items the Mozambican elections which take place on the 28th October. People are scared and there are reports of intimidation. Pray that things would be peaceful, the election process and results would be transparent and above all God honoring.

Landy Update

The Land Rover after it was overhauled is working great. But it has a big oil leak. So when we arrived back in Pretoria we dropped it off at the garage and they are now busy repairing the leaks. We are so grateful to God, He has provides us with friends who are so generous. Thanks to Klaus & Sue for loaning their bakkie to us in the mean while to use. God is good!
