ZITO FINALLY IMPROVING AFTER JESUS STEPPED IN

LAST WEEK I told you about Zito’s enor­mous left thigh swelling which began on Thurs­day. I was very con­cerned by Fri­day, call­ing in the doc­tor, who feared the infec­tion had restart­ed and his sutures might burst under the increased pres­sure. The Bala­ma doc­tor said a con­sult with a sur­geon was not pos­si­ble until Mon­day, so my staff and I took it to the next level.

We laid hands on Zito and prayed fer­vent­ly and specif­i­cal­ly, demand­ing the swelling, heat, and any infec­tion to leave Zito’s leg. No imme­di­ate change was seen, but we kept thank­ing Jesus for his heal­ing pow­ers, and went home.

SUNDAY at dawn, I went imme­di­ate­ly to check on Zito, and found that Jesus had tak­en care of it! HIS LEG WAS TOTALLY NORMAL in size and no heat was present.  His fever was gone, and so was his pain!!!  I WAS OVERJOYED AND DID A LITTLE DANCE AS I THANKED JESUS FOR HIS MIRACLE POWERS.

I was so, so grate­ful for Zito’s heal­ing that I called the doc­tor on Sun­day, and he came out to see it for him­self. He was AMAZED, and stat­ed:  “Looks like we don’t need the sur­gi­cal con­sult after all!”

I told him about our prayer meet­ing for Zito and he just smiled as he left.

Zito today. Pain free and heal­ing quickly.

‘THANK YOU JESUS’ SEEMS LIKE SO LITTLE TO SAY, BUT OUR HEARTS ARE BURSTING WITH JOY AS I WRITE THIS! Zito has con­tin­ued to improve through­out this week.

FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS KEEP US ALL HOPPING BUT EVERY CHILD ON OUR LIST NOW HAS FOOD!

MONDAY found our team leav­ing pre-dawn for Kwe Kwe Vil­lage, serv­ing 166 orphans and wid­ows, over 32km (16 miles) from Bala­ma. It is a pro­gram that takes 7 hours as the going is tough even though the roads are bet­ter than last year.

Orphaned girl comes per­son­al­ly to receive for her sib­lings. Granny too old to walk the sev­er­al miles to dis­tri­b­u­tion point.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY we prepped for 3 big food give-outs that would serve 702 orphans and wid­ows in 3 loca­tions on Thurs­day and Friday.

Elder­ly wid­ows receive food at Man­go Tree church

The wid­ows rais­ing orphaned grand­chil­dren now depend­ing on the grand­chil­dren for their age is showing.

OVER 13 TONS OF FOOD were dis­trib­uted dur­ing this week, bring­ing smiles of JOY to the 868 orphans and wid­ow who received our assis­tance for the first time this year.

Hard work, but well worth it. TOGETHER, YOUR LOVE GIFTS AND OUR TEAM ARE KEEPING CHILDREN HEALTHY AND HAPPY.

ERIC HEADS HOME AS I WRITE

It’s been a very pros­per­ous week with my long list of  “TO DO ITEMS” for Eric now ful­ly erased.

It was a won­der­ful 9 days with him work­ing on com­put­ers, doing BBC pro­gram film­ing, repair­ing our bro­ken truck, (includ­ing a train­ing ses­sion for our mechan­ics), and too many “odd jobs” to mention.

Super tal­ent­ed Eric Dry flew to RSA today. His gift is “helps” in many dif­fer­ent ways.

Eric is a “jack of all trades” and was essen­tial in help­ing us build this mis­sion sta­tion. Now he helps us keep it main­tained when the job is too big for us to handle.

His tal­ents are much sought after, as he had oth­er mis­sion­ar­ies wait­ing for his help this com­ing week.

THANK YOU ERIC AND THANK YOU JESUS FOR ALLOWING HIM TO GIVE US ANOTHER HELPING HAND.

BLESSINGS,
