Calander for the next few months

Just an idea of what we will be doing up until the end of August.

30th June to 7th July we have the outreach team from South Africa.
We will be visiting 2 bush Churches. Sambanje and will show the Jesus film 2 nights. Then from there on the way back to Espungabera a Church at Muchiyoyo which no outreach have visited yet. Here we will hopefully be helping to put up a Church framework made of poles cut from the bush. As well as showing the Jesus film two nights. We are going to be doing children, ladies and mens ministries at both places.

8th July Cecilia is getting a outreach group from Brazil of 11 people. FANTASTIC! The main focus is on training Sunday school leaders/teachers and also youth leaders. The Jesus film will be shown 2-3 nights there as well. This is an area where there are a lot of children and young people. They young "men" 18-25 years old are quite keen on carrying forward the idea of having multiple wives. Please pray for this time that we can get through to them. There will be quite a big focus on ladies ministries during this week as well. We are hoping to get some men as well so that we can have the opportunity to teach them as well.

20th July to 4th August Walter and Rosie get an outreach team from Northern Ireland from their home Church. EXCELLENT! They are coming to help build a 3 room dormitory which will be used by future outreach teams and also the Bible school students. While they are here they will be part a new Church plant at a place called Bundwa (not Bunga) and will be putting up a Church framework. And there will be the showing of the Jesus film over 2 days.

Dawn and I ave tried to make plans to go down to South Africa a few times but too much to do and Can't seem to fit a quick trip in. But we are thinking that we will have a gap to do that from 5th August to about 12th August. We have to replace Dawns Laptop which went KAPUT about a month ago. But even more fun than that is. We will have to get a new scanner as well to suite. Ours we have now was bought before we went to Namibia and has served us well since 1997. But we have no drivers for it to work on anything since Windows ME/2000. We will need to visit dentist as well. And possibly have eyes checked

13th August to 25th August we get a construction team from the USA. They are coming to help with the completion of Russell and Nicole's house. Russell is a medical doctor and will be working in the Espungabera hospital along side the Mozambican doctors and nurses. They arrive in February with 3 small children.

Please pray we have a lot on the go.
