Welcome Noah!!

Thank you so much for your prayers for us over these past days! We really value your partnership! Last Thursday 22nd in the early hours of the morning my waters broke. I was in Nelspruit with Naomi, Abigail and Joshua! Melvin was in Maputo taking the week to continue ministry. Noah had other ideas! I contacted Melvin and he left Mozambique to be at the border for 6am when it opened. Meanwhile my friend Liz picked me up and took me to hospital. Melvin arrived at 7.45am. At 10.50am the doctor rushed me to theatre for an emergency c-section. God intervened. Dr Barry asked a colleague, a neurosurgeon, who was ready to start an operation if he could use the theatre which was ready with a team of staff. He agreed and helped to deliver Noah! All of the staff were wonderful! Noah was born at 11.20am and weighed 8lbs 3oz. We are so thankful for a safe delivery.

Welcome Noah, Raymond to our family!!

23rd March-1 day old!

Proud dad!

We got out of hospital on Saturday! We are so thankful for Naomi and Liz's help looking after the children while I was in hospital. God has been so good to us placing His servants in our path. They have really shown us the love of Christ!

'My God is so big, so strong and so mighty'

25th March-Abigail is really interested in 'baby Noah'. She is a great help bringing nappies and helping out!!

First outing!!

Chilling out at the end of a long day!!

Wednesday 28th March-today Liz and Susette took Noah and I out! They had a baby shower planned for last Thursday but again Noah had other ideas! Liz and Susette have been such a blessing to us. It has been lovely to have friends here in Nelspruit!

Today Melvin was able to get the Birth Certificate for Noah so now we can go across the border and start the paperwork on the Mozambican side for passport etc. We also heard today that the medical insurance are going to cover some of the costs of delivery which is a blessing. We plan to travel back into Mozambique on Monday! Pray for Abigail and Joshua as they continue to adjust to having a new brother.

May God bless you as you continue to walk this journey of faith with us! We praise God for His faithfulness!!
