2 REVERENDS RETURN TO BALAMA
 
Rev­erends Gito and Ramadan returned to Bala­ma late Mon­day after­noon after an adven­tur­ous trip to Tete City, then on to Malawi for their ordi­na­tion. The trip was suc­cess­ful, but not with­out chal­lenges.  


L. to R. Rev­erend Gito, Bish­op Zali­ra, and Rev­erend Ramadan.
 
A Cholera out­break made cross­ing the bor­der a bit chal­leng­ing due to restric­tions that helps pre­vent the dis­ease from spread­ing. We are very proud of both our men, as they are hard work­ing evangelist/church planters with lots more work to do for the Lord.

More on the work ahead of them after I debrief them this week­end, and we set up a plan of evan­ge­lis­tic action.
 

BOTH MOTHERS CAME THROUGH SURGERY WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS
 
Thanks to your prayers, both Fos­ter Moth­ers Berti­na and Feleci­na had no com­pli­ca­tions from their surg­eries. 


            Fos­ter Moth­er Berti­na                        Granny Felic­i­na
 
Bertina’s chal­leng­ing tumor turned out to be a SIMPLE TUMOR, with­out com­pli­ca­tions.  PRAYERS ANSWERED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!  She has been released to her home, and will return in 7 days for suture removal. Feleci­na is still in hos­pi­tal, as her hip tumor was quite large and involved. I don’t have many details on that, but will update once I know more.
 

TINY 2 DAY OLD NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS
 

Tiny 2 day old baby girl Esper­an­ca needs your prayers.
 
Two day old Esper­an­ca (HOPE) was brought to us on Mon­day by her Aunt Ernesti­na for milk assis­tance. A neigh­bor had suck­led the child from birth, as the moth­er died short­ly after Esper­an­ca was born. Esper­an­ca nev­er received the mother’s colostrum milk, so her immu­ni­ty is com­pro­mised. Our staff was THRILLED to see Esper­an­ca at our Thurs­day infant for­mu­la weigh in.  She had gained 50 gms since Mon­day, and was look­ing more active. Please prayer for her immune sys­tem to strength­en rapid­ly.
 
MOVING 40 TONS OF CORN IS A BIG JOB
 

Mov­ing 40 tons of corn to keep it cool­er.
 
With 20 strong men, who made it look easy to lift 132 lb./60kg bags of corn, we did our year­ly shift­ing to get the corn low­er to the ground, thus keep­ing it cool­er. The 4 stacks of corn were reduced from 15 rows to 10 rows in height, with the extra corn being stacked in the free area avail­able after 2 months of food dis­tri­b­u­tions.

The front stacks are easy, as the men removed the top sacks and made a new stack next to it. The 2 back stacks required some jug­gling to keep the men safe while toss­ing the sacks from the back stack to the front stacks for eas­i­er trans­port.  The pho­to shows the men mov­ing sacks from one stack to anoth­er. It was a relief when it was all done, as no stack shift­ed or fell, nor was any­one injured. That’s a great day in my book!
 
WE ARE MARCHING ON FOR JESUS BECAUSE YOU CARE.
