Nepal October 25, 2007
We are back in Mozambique after almost four weeks of being away. I went to Nepal to be part of an All Nations gathering. Workers from different nations shared their stories and as they shared I were greatly encouraged. God is moving in the nations, gathering His people for His glory. He is touching Tibetan Buddhist, street children in India and our lives here in Mozambique. It is such an honor to be part of this family at this time as we look to see God glorified in all the nations.
Rika and our three boys went to Cape Town to spend some time with family and friends. On arrival in Cape Town she and Pietro were very ill. They were later diagnosed with Hepatitis A. Pietro is much better now, but Rika is still struggling with her health. Please pray for her that her liver will fully recover.
Last week while we were traveling back to Mozambique, Social Welfare came to ask our help with a three-month-old baby, Nicols. His mother is dying of AIDS in hospital and she is also mentally ill. He is extremely malnourished, literally skin and bone. Baby Daniel has grown so much while we were gone and he has gained a lot of weight, so we almost did not recognize him. All the other children are doing really well and have gained weight accept Marcelino that lost weight. Please pray for Marcelino we cannot understand why he struggles to grow and gain weight.
The baby house is almost furnished, we have trained the new educators and tomorrow we move baby Nicols and Daniel into the new house. God is so awesome and it is so amazing to see a vision and dream come into existence.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
