Which came first, the chicken or the egg?



Okay, so that was just an "attention grabber" that was meant to make you think, "what are they talking about?" and keep you reading. Although, we may have answers to all your burning questions about chickens and eggs very soon! Why?

Because we are doing what no seminary class could have every prepared us for. Preparing to start an egg business. We now have the land and, with help from our interns, are clearing it. Soon, construction will begin on the hen houses. In 4 months, Mozovos(ovos means eggs) will be the proud owner of 5,000 hens, ready to lay eggs. The above photo is of Rodger and the interns at the new land. The tall, distinguished looking man in the back, second from the right, is Senhor Bule. He is the man God brought into our lives to manage the project.

The interns have already been hard at work. They have learned the egg business while interning at another business. They are ready to go!

The business is being created to help provide a sustainable future for these young men who have been sent by their church to participate with us and receive hands on training in ministry.

In addition, they are studying diligently the life of Christ and applying it to their lives and ministry. They are building redemptive relationships with people in the community through English language helps class with us and through inviting their friends to play basketball at our house.
