BUSH BUNNY’S HOUSE ROBBED IN MOZAMBIQUE
 
Some­time last night, a child with at least one adult, broke into the back of my bed­room at our mis­sion sta­tion in Moz. An axe was used to pry open one of the sol­id wood shut­tered win­dows. (they left the axe behind as proof of how they got in).
Foot­prints from a small child, approx­i­mate­ly 10 years old, were found below the window.
The shut­ters are too nar­row for even a small adult to climb through.
 
The pre­scrip­tion med­ica­tions online room was com­plete­ly ran­sacked with all my clothes and oth­er items pulled out of box­es and suit­cas­es onto the floor.
With­out me being there, it will be hard to deter­mine exact­ly what all they took.
 
For sure, the elec­tron­ics were taken.

Some of the med­ica­tions for the kids
 
Any­one who has been robbed while away on a trip, knows that it is very upset­ting and leaves one feel­ing very vio­lat­ed and angry. 
We have 2 night guards on duty plus 4 dogs, but who­ev­er did this knew the guard rou­tine, and knew to stay on the side of the house where the guard dogs would have dif­fi­cul­ty hear­ing them.
 
All that can be done now is to add more secu­ri­ty to the win­dows and have the guards make more round each night to make sure no one can sneak up on the my house .
 
At the moment, I’m in Tul­sa for the week, as my out of state speak­ing tour is just beginning.
I’m mak­ing new friends, as am now “men­tor­ing” mis­sion­ar­ies who desire to start orphan fos­ter care pro­grams in 3 countries.
Barundi
Uganda
Tanzania
 
Fos­ter care is the most LOVING and prac­ti­cal way to care for 1000’s of orphans.  We at Orphans Unlim­it­ed know for a fact that God prefers His chil­dren be KEPT IN THEIR CULTURE, since He ordered me to do it that way in Moz.
Social Ser­vices from the nation­al gov­ern­ment lev­el inspect­ed us this year, giv­ing our pro­gram their high­est accom­mo­da­tion for our care of 1,600 orphans in fos­ter care.
They asked to use our pro­gram as a mod­el for oth­ers desir­ing to care for orphans in Moz.
I’m now shar­ing this infor­ma­tion with any mis­sion­ary desir­ing to care for orphans through­out Afric.
The mod­el will work in any coun­try in Africa.
 
We appre­ci­ate your prayers and lov­ing con­cern for us and our kids.
 
Bless­ings, Bush Bun­ny Brenda
