Prayer changes things!
Please would you pray with us for Dustin and Ann who are in Canada trying to get their monthly support up to 100% so that they can come out and join the Mossurize Ndau discipleship team. They are already learning Portuguese in Canada. Good work guys! stick at it. But lets PRAY this young couple over to Mozambique.
The next few days
Oh!, wouldn't it be fun to be riding through the snow in a one horse open slay instead of driving to hot and humid Beira on rough and bumpy roads.
As we are packing for a 4 day trip to Beira and Chimoio I'm reminded of the time a few years back when we were very blessed to visit with Walter & Rosie in Northern Ireland and it snowed and was cold and it rained. Boy did we we ever feel out of place. Because for us December is a hot and humid time of the year. It would be great to have a LITTLE of that cooler weather right about now.
We leave for Beira at 7.30am tomorrow and head almost right into meetings for 2 days. Most of which will be with our AIM country leader who has just returned from her home assignment. Please pray with us that all these meetings go well and that we are able to lighten her load in some way. She has just too much on her plate.
But please pray very especially for a meeting at 5pm tomorrow. It is with the president of the denomination we work alongside. We are needing to focus on what our role is in Mozambique alongside the local Church. We feel that there might have in the past few months been some miss communication /information / expectation and understanding of our role here. And most of all we want to avoid a dependency situation some time in the future. But want to focus our energies on training leaders of the local Churches to become empowered leaders. And that when we on day leave there is a vibrant missions minded Church which is sustainable. We want God's plan and His glory to receive all the praise. In what He is doing in Mossurize district.
