Team

Today, our Mozambique Worldventure team heads off to South Africa for a few days together. It will be the last time our team is together like this before Jim and Corinne leave Mozambique. Our mid term workers, Ken and Arlene will be with us until October and then will be leaving as well. Then it will be"just the Schmidt's" in Mozambique, the same way we started the journey more than five years ago.

This is a group who really enjoys being together, so it's a sure thing we will laugh alot and probably cry too. We'll eat good food and drink coffee and worship together and play games and take walks. Being part of a team has been a wonderful experience for us!

Because I'm feeling sadness today, I'm choosing to look to the future and save the other part for another day!

The fresh, young smiling faces below are our newest team members(minus one family I couldn't get the photo to upload, Brian, can you send another :)). They will be joining us in Mozambique as soon as their needed support is raised.

Brian and Megan Meyers and their three young daughters(no photo yet) will be joining us as mid-term workers. Brian is a medical doctor and will be teaching at the medical school/hospital in Beira with a view toward long term work in medical missions in Mozambique. Brian and Megan are currently living in Detroit, Michigan.

Rob and Heather Blanks and their children (first photo) are interested in theological education and leadership training. Just as we do, they have a heart for the people of northern Mozambique. Rob and Heather are currently living in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Dave and Amy Terpstra and their children(second photo) are interested in working in leadership/business development and with child advocacy and teaching/reaching families . Dave and Amy are currently living in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Will you please join with us to pray for these families? Pray that God will raise up the support needed for them to come be part of the team in Mozambique! We eagerly await their arrivals!
