JESUS came to save
the LOST,
the LAST,
and the LEAST.
How time flies! Another month gone and it is nearly the middle of the year– before we know it Christmas will be here again.
You’re probably wondering what the photo and the “party” was about. Of late we have been dwindling in numbers for the Ladies Bible Study on Thursdays with several excuses being given for not coming. Katherine was doing the study on this particular day and between the two of us we made the ’goodies’ for the feast and she taught Luke 14:16-23. It was very effective and those who came got the message. Please pray for the ladies (Espungabera) to be more committed in getting to know God.
With the access to e-mail and internet we have been able to keep up with what is going on in the rest of the world. Every day we hear about the difficulties all over the world- one of them being the ever increases in fuel prices. Gone are the days when we bought diesel cars because the fuel was cheaper. In-fact diesel is more expensive than petrol, wow! When we first arrived in Mozambique in 2002 diesel was 8 Meticais per liter and now it steadily risen to 41 Meticais per liter & is set to go up again. With an exchange rate of 2.8Mt = R1 makes it R14.64 per liter. We know that all of you are feeling the pinch as well and our prayer request is for all missionaries that their support will not be affected by the sky rocketing prices.
Talking about Internet… we have a “blog”! Never to old to learn. Please visit our blog and read what is happening and also see photo’s. We will be updating it all the time so you can log in any time you want to. Our blog address is: jinxdawn.blogspot.com
Many of you know that our vehicle broke down in Pretoria and we need to start working towards replacing it. We have registered a Vehicle Replacement Fund with our AIM office in Cape Town. Should you feel led to contribute please contact Jill by email-finance.sa@aimint.net or by phone on 021-7615917 for banking details.
This week Jinx and Alberto are out at the Bible School. The Ladies ministries are going well. They are all taking their “projects” very seriously. Mukulyane is knitting, Tsitsamma, Bunga and Mukumba are all sewing. Here, we are sewing and also selling popcorn. Wonderful news!- the uniforms for the 12 ladies going to conference have been made.-black skirts, white shirts and white hats. Please continue to keep them in prayer.
On the home front– we are all fine. Toni is doing well at school and her mid term is coming up soon. Water and electricity still the same– practically non existent. We thank the Lord for our good health.
We are expecting the outreach group around the 28th June. We are so exited and are happy that a member and her son will also be coming from our home church! Please keep the outreach n your prayers with the last preparations and for their traveling up through Maputo.
Take care and God Bless
Jinx and Dawn
