Labourers together with God 1 Cor 3v9

Firstly, THANK YOU so much for your prayers for Melvin's back. God answered prayer in a miraculous way and he is now free from pain and discomfort - Praise God. He is still going weekly to a chiropractor here in Maputo. She is working to reduce the curvature in his back. It seems that the problem may have been caused by a build up of stress over time. Pray for continued healing. Thank you so much for partnering with us in prayer.

We had a great time of rest in South Africa. Once again, we were blessed by our wonderful friends, Steve and Liz, in Nelspruit. We were able to stay in their home, do some business, rest and take Abigail and Joshua to some play parks. We then spent a few days a couple of hours from Nelspruit and were able to return via Kruger Park to Mozambique which the children loved. Abigail learnt how to say "Zebra" for the first time and Joshua is obsessed by 'Raffes'. It is such a blessing to hear them speak in both Portuguese and English. Abigail is able to say more words than Joshua. Pray for his continued language development.

Joshua and Abigail have both enjoyed good health, thank you for your prayers! Recently, however, we have noticed a rash on her back and neck. Pray that we will have wisdom regarding treatment or that it will disappear quickly.

Also, if you havent already heard the news, God willing, we hope to welcome a new little Kelly into our family at the end of March. Please pray for Sharon's health and especial protection from malaria. Pray also for wisdom for us as we make decisions about delivery etc.

Upon our return from South Africa, a team from Brazil arrived (7th Oct). They have felt God's leading to partner with us and our church partner here in Mozambique. It was a wonderful time with much discussion, fellowship, encouragement and strategizing. The days and evenings were busy but we thank God for our dear Brazilian brothers willing to partner with us to extend God's Kingdom here. Praise God for Pastor Jaco (COMIM), Pastor Sandro (CONIM) and Micah Routon (OMS Brazil). Please pray for wisdom and resolve to build a partnership in the coming days to the Glory of God.
