Dreams are coming true!

Community soccer, Agostinho Neto
The chicken cages are being installed this week!

Daudi and Americo with "Papa Joao".

The work continues in 25 de Junho and we are seeing dreams become realities!

We are becoming more and more a family with our interns.
We are growing along with them in our understanding of how Jesus lived.
We are seeing the interns grow in their understanding and ability to teach God's word.
We are reaching out into the community and seeing relationships grow through our weekly English homework helps, community basketball and soccer.
We are within weeks of the grand opening of MozOvos.
Our church services on Sunday have grown from 12(our family and our interns) to an average of 24.   All are from involvement in the community of 25 de Junho.

These are the things we dreamed and prayed for.  But God ALWAYS gives more than we ever dreamed could be possible!

We searched for months for property for the business in the community of 25 de Junho.  It just wasn't to be found at an affordable price.  That brought questions and discouragement.  Instead, by faith, be purchased property 17 kilometers away in an area called "Agostinho Neto".  

The community outreach has spread to that area as well.  On Saturdays, about 40 people are showing up for community soccer and to find out what all these people with the bright hello MozOvos t-shirts are about!  We are anxious to see what God has planned in this area as well!

Prayer Need for this week:  "Papa Joao"  the man with the ball cap in the last picture, is a day worker hired from the community of Agostinho Neto to work at MozOvos.  His 14 year old daughter died of malaria this last week.  She was receiving treatment and they thought she was better.  She took a turn for the worse and died very suddenly.  Please pray for this grieving family and for all of us as believers as we minister to them.
