FROM “BUSH BUNNY BRENDA“ DATE: APRIL 3, 2021 HELDER MAKES IT TO 1ST ELIMINATIONS Friday, Capena took Helder to Montepuez for his interview and elimination test, competing with over 600 students out of the 1,050 who took the test. They are competing for 190 positions at the teachers college. He needs God’s favor so please pray for him as the competition is really tough. Sadly, Alferes and Ali’s test scores were not good enough to make the cut. Helder awaits exam results. Results of who will receive those 190 positions will be announced after April 10th. Please pray for favor, that the judges liked his answers at the interview. NOTE: Alferes and Ali will enter the 12th grade class on Monday. Thankfully, they only missed 1 week of school. Helder, who has completed 12th grade, will help out with odd jobs around our mission until his final results at teachers college are announced. MORE BABIES DEPENDING ON OUR MILK PROGRAM Presently, 30 infants are receiving baby formula in our program and 8 of those infants are living with us. Newborns are totally milk dependent until their 4th month. At that time rice cereal followed by either our special Hypo or other baby cereals are slowly introduced into their diet. This wee 3‑day-old orphan has a chance at life thanks to your generous formula gifts. 1‑year-old malnourished boy receives Hypo cereal to boost his energy and protein intake. Last week alone, we received 2 new infants into the milk formula program, and 1 malnourished 1‑year-old into the food program. Grandmother and baby’s father eagerly listen to Anna’s instructions, as this newborn’s life depends on it. CHRISTIANO FIGHTING TO LIVE Christiano has an eye infection and sepsis (blood infection). A 3rd blood transfusion was given this week to boost his immunity. The fact that he is STILL ALIVE is a faith builder to us all, for his little frail body is fighting against great odds. A JESUS MIRACLE IS NEEDED. Please keep him in your daily prayers. A video link is shown, below, to let you see what a fighter he is.

Since blood doesn’t keep long, we donate the balance of the blood to help other infants with post-malaria anemia. This week, 2 other infants benefited from Christiano’s blood packet. HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY TO YOU ALL! BLESSINGS BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF |
