It's Raining

It has just begun to drizzel and a fresh smell is every where. Isn't God good? It has been very dry and hot. And while we were out at Siyabuzana yesterday when we drove between some of the fields. The new maize looked as though it was begining to suffer from the heat and lack of rain.

BIG PRAYER REQUEST

Living out in the "boonies" comes with a few opportunities for personal growth. One of them is the absence of facilites like banks and post office as well as a host of other things. However vehicles are allways a source of challenges and that with growth spurts, especially in the area of patience and mechanical skill, not forgetting the make a plan moments.

Our Land Rover has finally coughed it's last. We have just spent a sizeable amount on another engine repair. And now it has broken down but I've called it a day with repairing this one.

It has got to the stage where the repairs and maintenance are keeping me out of what the Lord has called us to do. Namely planting Churches and training Church leaders. As well as heading up the "new" team of missionaries which are coming to enable the work to go forward through disciplship in all the local Churches.

PRAYER REQUEST

We please need everyone to pray with us that we will be able to get a "new" vehicle soon. We now depend on others to get around. We are also looking for a vehicle which is not going to do my neck and back any further damage. But it will need to strong none the less. We are hoping to find a good Land Rover Discovery 2 not older than a 2002 model. Obviously finances is going to play a massive part in our eventual decision.

A wonderful Saturday

This morning began with a men's breakfast at the Glen Methodist. There must have been more than 30 people there both men and woman. Dawn and I were able to share with some great people who support and love us, about what God is doing in Mossurize district of Mozambique.

The ladies put on such a spread for breakfast. What a nice spoil! It was also a time when folks could ask us questions which they had on their heart. One of the things that was clear is that we really do need to get a newer vehicle and one that is reliable. So we will be sending out more information about this very soon.

Then we were blessed to have Martin & Cheryl come up from Pietermaritzburg and we had lunch together and able to catch up with them. We would have liked to have been at their wedding but weren't able to make it due to my father passing away. Thanks Martin cool to meet you finally, we have heard so much about you.
