We wrote in our last newsletter about how we’ve been blessed: two vehicles to replace our tired and run down one! Both of these vehicles must however be exported from South Africa and imported into Mozambique. In record time. We have heard the “horror stories” about this process, but are praying for a miracle. Please […]

Elin and I are at a literacy training week and I was reminded about such a neat answer to prayer… that I want to share it with you although it happened a few months ago. This is about how the Lord answered the first Mwinika missionaries, Abar and Liberia’s prayer in a most tangible way! […]

How important is it that people can read and write their own language? Maybe we should back up and ask: why would people be reading their heart language if there is so much reading material available in the main languages or trade languages of the world? The key is this: heart language. God speaks not […]

Living “on the other side of no-where” implies that we are very dependent on reliable transport. For both Mwinika Church Plant families, transport is a huge challenges at the moment. Last year this time, the Hendersons’ car burned out. (See https://blogs.ethnos360.org/phil-henderson/2014/02/04/the-lord-gave-and-the-lord-has-taken-away) Since then they have acquired a new vehicle, but still do not have enough […]

We are visiting the land of milk and honey… our passport country!  Although with recent power shortages resulting in “power shedding” some would beg to differ about the “milk and honey” part! 🙂 In our last newsletter we mentioned that we may go to SA for a few months… and here we are! Why are we […]

Sherife was one of the first believers among the Mwinika people. He died a few days ago, saved and ready to meet his Saviour. Although we are very sad to lose our friend and co-worker, we rejoice that he is now in heaven! (Photo 1: Sherife at a believers’ meeting with our two sons, Franco […]

Abar is teaching this week (24-28 Nov. 2014) about the death and resurrection of Christ! (Photo: Alana reading from the Book of Jonah during the Literacy certificate ceremony earlier this month. Abar is standing next to her.)  Please pray that the people in Alana’s village will come not only to an intellectual knowledge of Christ, […]

Finally the day arrived for the 18 Literacy of students of Alana’s village to receive their certificates. They successfully completed the level 1 course! A car load of people from here left early Wednesday morning, heading out for the 3 hour road trip to Alana’s village. Abar and Liberia have been diligently working in this […]

The last two months have been some of the most difficult and most wonderful times of our life! Isn’t life just FULL of contrasts? And like always when we go through hard times, we are made more than ever aware of how much we need the Lord; how absolutely impossible it is to take even […]
