Faith Hope and Love

The last few weeks have been quite diverse for us. Here a few snippets of what we have been up to:

Xai-Xai Beach
With temperatures in the high thirties, we grabbed the opportunity to go and spend a weekend with missionary friends who live on the beach :-). They live about three and half hours north from us.









We had fun on the beach (sorry we didn't take the camera to the beach!), had the most scrummy pancakes, chilled, had a BBQ and had afternoon naps! We had lots of fun. Thank you Jason, Rachel, Tristen and Jocelyn!


On the way back we took this photo!! We see many funny things daily in Mozambique!

Teaching at the Seminary

Yesterday was our first day to teach within the seminary program. It was a great experience - not as daunting as I thought! Teacher Sharon kept me right! Our subject is Holistic Mission. Our prayer is that the students would have a vision for how God desires to have access to every area of our lives. How He desires that we each and all live in dependence upon Him and seek His provision for our every need whether, physical, emotional, social, intellectual or spiritual. Continue to pray for us as we prepare the curriculum and teach in Portuguese.

Imprisoned but Set Free



Last Saturday I (Melvin) had the opportunity to join five other members of our City Church as we attended the Juvenile Prison near Boane. There are around 100 residents though some were on farm duty on Saturday so we met around 60. A very pleasant sympathetic lady has been seeking help from churches as it is her desire to see these young guys encounter Jesus. We understand that a number of them have already made a commitment to Jesus. Please pray for wisdom and understanding as the City Church seeks to minister intentionally into such a context.
