LOCAL NUTRITIONIST MAKING WEEKLY VISITS
 

Dr. Mar­i­ano weighs and exam­ines each infant in our baby for­mu­la pro­gram.
 
Dr. Mar­i­ano of the Bala­ma Health Cen­ter is now vis­it­ing our mal­nour­ished infants in our Baby For­mu­la Pro­gram each Thurs­day.
Each infant is weighed, then giv­en a phys­i­cal exam.  Any infant found ill is tak­en back to the Bala­ma hos­pi­tal for treat­ment. He also does nutri­tion­al coun­sel­ing with the care tak­er of those infants not gain­ing weight like they should be on our high pro­tein milk and cere­als.
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE HIS HELPING HAND with all our infants and younger chil­dren. 
 
FOOD HANDOUTS COMPLETED FOR OCTOBER
 

Each food dis­tri­b­u­tion begins with devo­tions and a short Bible sto­ry.
 
For the last 2 weeks we spent much of our time load­ing and dis­trib­ut­ing the 20.5 TONS of corn and 3.78 TONS of beans it takes to sup­ple­ment the diets of the 1,144 orphans and wid­ows in our Vil­lage Food Assis­tance Pro­gram For Orphans.
 

3 orphan girls divide the food to help their Aunt get it to their mud hut.
 
 

Granny and orphaned Grand­son will divide their bag of corn before cart­ing it home. Weight is 60 kg. or 132 lbs.
 
 

Old­er child teach­ing the younger ones how to car­ry food on their heads.
 
It’s a great day for us once we know they all have food to help sus­tain them through­out the next 30 days. THANK YOU for give them a help­ing hand dur­ing these hot and dry months when noth­ing wants to grow.
 
2 BALAMA PASTORS TRAVELING TO TETE PROVINCE
 
As I write, our Pas­tors Gito and Ramadan are trav­el­ing 3 days by bus to a teach­ing con­fer­ence in Tete City.  Our Nation­al Bish­op, Zali­ra, select­ed them for a pro­mo­tion to REVERAND when he was vis­it­ing our mis­sion in May of this year. The AGUAS VIVAS CHURCH, which is our spir­i­tu­al cov­er­ing here in Mozam­bique, has 3 lev­els that a church leader may achieve accord­ing to his train­ing and accom­plish­ments.
First is Pas­tor, then Rev­erend, with BISHOP being the high­est lev­el.  Rev­erend is for lead­ers who have excelled in plant­i­ng church­es and evan­ge­liz­ing their areas.
 

Pas­tor Gito
 
Pas­tor Gito has plant­ed 5 church­es in 5 vil­lages, and has BAWANA GAMES pro­grams going in each of these areas.
 

Pas­tor Ramadan
 
Pas­tor Ramadan has plant­ed 2 church­es and assist­ed a less expe­ri­enced Pas­tor in plant­i­ng 2 addi­tion­al church­es in remote vil­lages. Ramadan has BAWANA GAMES pro­grams in 3 loca­tions in his very large vil­lage.
 
These 2 men are the first to be cho­sen from Bala­ma for this hon­or­able advance­ment, so we are super hap­py for them.
 
BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!
