137!

137!

This is the number of dozens of eggs we need for the month of December to make budget at MozOvos! Will you please pray with us about these things?

1. 137 dozen eggs is needed to buy chicken feed and pay salaries.

2. The vendor that was providing us with hens went bankrupt, leaving us high and dry for the remaining 3,000 chickens he was to provide. This is a serious setback, but we keep reminding ourselves this is God's work, not ours.

3. Pray that we will learn the lessons God has for us to learn. That our faith will grow and as we pray together and see God answer, God will strengthen the faith of our interns as well.

WE EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD IN ANSWER TO OUR COLLECTIVE PRAYERS!

Yes, the 137 dozen eggs may be an intersection in your journey of leadership training. How well I recall such times while there.
Bencions. Mama Carolina, now back in the States with the most vital organ of my system, my heart, still in Moz. What happens is one cannot leave there without sand in your shoes, no matter how much you shake. :>)
Visit Carolyn Belshe Orphanage in Cambine if the opportunity opens. Hug the kids for God and for me.
gracias.

May God bless those chickens in a such a great way that it will be more than 137 dozen! We are also praying that the interns will grow in their faith through this and when they are in ministry on their own, they will recall that God is the Provider.

Bless you Rodger and Lynne for your continual commitment to God's work in Maputo. We are anxiously waiting to return to Dondo in March. Phil & Pam :-)

Roger and Lynne,
We will be praying for very fertile eggs this month! If Mary could have a baby in Dec. without conception, laying extra eggs for the chickens is easy work for God! We will pray for an abundant harvest and peace in the waiting! May this be a growing time that bonds you with the interns as you see God's faithfulness as He provides in His way and in His time!

Thank you Lynne for sharing your story a few blogs ago. I just read it. Thank you for your vulnerability. It's such a hard journey to let go of all the things we want to control. My prayers are with you.

Love always,
The Bradley Family
