New Baby April 21, 2008
Gercio is a three-month-old baby that was abandoned by his mother. The chief of the area in which he was abandoned came to ask our help. So today little Gercio joined our growing family here in Mozambique. We bought everything he needs and he will be joining Daniel and Nicols in the new house for babies. Please pray for him, we still have to do a HIV test on him.
Allison Scarlett joined our team here in Mozambique. Allison did the All Nations, CPx experience in Kansas City. She has a heart to work with young women and to disciple them. Please pray for her as she seeks to build relationships with young women in our community.
We have a new project that we are starting shortly; we want to train five young women to make jewelry from beads. It will be an opportunity for them to earn an income and also for Allison to spend time with them. We hope to train even more woman in the future and create jobs for them.
God has really challenged us to improve the homes of our educators; some of them have to walk many miles for water. We would love to provide all their homes with running water and electricity.
Rika and I also spent some time in Cape Town during an All Nations gathering. It was a time of encouragement for us and also to dream some new dreams. Rika are also doing much better and are finally walking without crutches. Thank you so much for your prayers and support in this time.
For those of you who have sowed into our project for making new beds for the “babies”, thank you so much. Soon we will start making the first beds.
