BUSH BUNNY IN ATLANTA, HEADED BACK TO MOZAMBIQUE!
It’s April 14th, and this Bush Bunny will be in the air for 17 hours tonight, landing in Johannesburg, South Africa tomorrow, then on to Mozambique on April 16th.
The tour went well, and I am excited to get home to the new programs God has for us this year.
MANY NEW PROGRAMS TO OPEN IN 2011
So fasten your seat belts because this newly energized bunny is going to be hopping at double speed to do all that the Lord has shown us to do this year.
1. SMALL BUSINESS TRAINING for our orphans via goat production projects and Chia seed production (see article below).
2. OPEN A NEW MISSION in a county called Namuno (Nah-moo-nooh).
Not one church or mission exists in this county and the orphans are suffering extreme malnutrition, begging food or eating trash on the streets. They need a Jesus Rescue, plain and simple, and the Lord has ordered us to move out and do it.
MASSIVE FOOD BUYING STARTS MAY 1ST.
Four Americans have dedicated their summer to come help us FILL THE BARNS! I’ve never had this much help, and it is a BIG RELIEF, as this program is growing quickly, and it is not possible for Eric and I to handle all the aspects of this intensive program our 1,600 orphans and 600 widows depend on.
A 6 person Michigan team is coming in July who will help us evangelize and hopefully plant a new church in a remote village.
CHIA SEED PRODUCTION CAN BRING JOBS AND HIGH PROTEIN FOOD TO MOZAMBIQUE
Two big challenges we have are protein malnutrition and a lack of jobs for our older orphans.
Three weeks ago, I was introduced to LIFEMAX who provide jobs in 3rd world countries to those who want to grow a particular specie of Chia seeds, the only ingredient in their 100% raw food called MILA.
During my research on Lifemax, I heard some fascinating testimonies from MDs and others in the health field about Mila, so bought a bag and tried it.
Within 10 days, I had lost 6 lbs. (it helps dump that excess middle age spare tire), and a whole inch in my waist! I had been gaining weight steadily as the middle age bulge had caught up with this bunny, even though I was only eating rice and beans!
My energy and ENDURANCE increased so that I could work hard for 16 hours! Normally, I was wiped out in 12. Anyone who knows me can tell you that this bunny lost her hop at dark, and was in bed by 7pm. Now I’m up at 4a.m. (my normal wake up time), and I go strong till about 9pm each night. When I say STRONG, I mean full out go, go, go, as this bunny is a doer that likes to get things done NOW! J That’s one of the reasons God gave me the assignment to rescue orphans. Organizing and getting a job done are 2 of the gifts He gave me.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, as Chia plants can produce 3–4 harvest/year and it GROWS BEST between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. Northern Moz. is IN THAT ZONE, PTL!
The President of Lifemax had her office call me 2 days ago, and they will be contacting me in May to tell me more about what they can do to help our kids produce Chia. More info will be released on this project as it develops.
If you want to check out this fascinating “MIRACLE SEED” called MILA, go to:

Purchases made through this website will DIRECTLY BENEFIT our orphans in Mozambique.
CHECK OUT MY MILA TESTIMONY ON YOUTUBE.
MILA IS A 100% RAW FOOD with many health benefits.
I’ve personally seen 2 of my friends with chronic fatigue, fibro-myalgia, and gout, gain energy and relief from muscle pain after only a week of eating this seed. God made it, giving it to us, and I am a firm believer in using HIS plants to keep our bodies healthy.
BLESSINGS and Much Thanks for all you do to help us rescue more orphans!
