DATE: Novem­ber 12, 2016

Two of our USA friends, Dave and Lar­ry, will be arriv­ing this week to teach and take a look at our cur­rent programs.

The whole BAWANA pro­gram came into “being” here because of Dave’s vision for our chil­dren in Mozambique.

Dave intro­duced me to Lar­ry, and the vision became a real­i­ty a year later.

Lar­ry began train­ing our Pas­tors and BBC groups over 5 years ago in the BAWANA games tech­nique for child evangelism.

Their labors have pro­duced much fruit (as shown in the next arti­cle below).  We are very excit­ed to host them so they can see their vision in action.

Tues­day and Wed. our Pas­tors will be meet­ing with Lar­ry for Bible train­ing.  He’ll be teach­ing inter­ac­tive ways to reach out with the Gospel to all ages.  Thurs­day and Fri­day they will assist in food dis­tri­b­u­tions and at a BAWANA games pro­gram in a remote village.

Ear­ly Sat­ur­day (19^th) our Bawana lead­ers will be in at the MANGO TREE CHURCH in Mavala to host the 2^nd annu­al BAWANA GAMES COMPETITION between 4 remote villages.

6 a.m. Sun­day, they will do the same in Bala­ma with 4 teams from that area.   God’s Word along with can­dy, cook­ies, and loads of fun awaits all those who attend the 2 competitions!

Tell you all about it in 2 weeks.  There will be NO BLOG next week­end due the above programs.
