January 2010 Newsletter

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Acts 20:24
Dear friends and brothers in Christ, the grace and peace of the Lord.
As it's not different in Africa, we started the year 2010 with much struggle and also with hard work, but also with the blessings of the Lord. We believe that this will be a year when we do great things in the Kingdom of God here in Mozambique and in particular in Chimoio. This year we are returning some activities that we've been doing very little because of other services. For example I will return to a course of Bible school that was in our house and it already has a group of brothers and leaders who will be studying with us starting this month. Next week we are starting to work with children again, because before we assisted other projects but now we want to start ours. We will start next week with some children, quite simple, our goal is to reach the children of this community where we will be working with the word of God. We have a project done in this direction, so all we need is prayer and financial resources.
The work with the prisons has been very good and has given amazing results. Last Saturday in the service we had 32 new converts and it was a blessing to worship. During the month of May we will give a 2-week course to teach inmates to use cassava and sugarcane, this course is also part of the project we want to start to reach the poor communities here in Chimoio.
 
Last Sunday was another blessing because we started a new congregation of our church, and it's where I'll be assisting. The first service was very good although there wasn't a large crowd, we had 11 adults and 40 children, and 3 people accepted Jesus. The next service will be much better because on Saturday we will do evangelism. Please pray for this work, it's a very poor neighbourhood that is 8 miles from where we live and there are many wizards and prophets, and we need a lot of grace from God.
 
Please continue supporting us with your prayers so that we can keep doing what God wants in this country, and seeking new strategies of the Lord for the success of our ministry in Africa. Once again thank you for all you have done for us and for your faithfulness to us regarding our finances. May God bless you more and make you prosper in all things. We never forget that all of this is only possible because you believed in us.
