Additions to the Family!

For the last 2 years, we've been blessed to host groups of young people in a program Worldventure calls "Missionventures". These guys come from all over the U.S. and join us for ten days to experience life with us. They are SO GREAT and we have grown to love each of them! By the time they leave us, we feel we have added to our family.

This year's group had some real challenges to overcome in learning about life in Mozambique. On their first day with us, they did a city-wide scavenger hunt with Mozambican guides who spoke limited english. They were required to do things like: go to a local market and buy chickens, kill chickens, have their pictures taken at certain landmarks, buy and eat Mozambican food, and take local transportation. They came through with flying colors!

They worked with us in the orphanage and hosted 3 vacation bible schools in the 2 neighborhoods where we work. The last VBS day, we had 300 children attend! Does that thought make you tired and maybe frightened?

Well, they also spent 24 hours in a community called Manhica, 1 hour from Maputo, living in the homes of Mozambican families, experiencing the wonderful hospitality of our Mozambican friends.. Learning from them what it means to be Mozambican. This was a very meaningful experience for them and for their Mozambican hosts, who were happy to share what little they have with their new American friends.

We learned from them how awesome "20 something's" with hearts for God can be! We hope they loved our time together as much as we did!
