TWO OF OUR MOTHERS HAVING SURGERY
 
On Mon­day, Octo­ber 31, Fos­ter Moth­er Berti­na (Ostrich House), and Granny Feli­ciana, moth­er to her orphaned grand­chil­dren, will be tak­en by our Office Staff at 5 a.m. to the Region­al Hos­pi­tal in Mon­tepuez for surgery.
 

Fos­ter Moth­er Berti­na has abdom­i­nal tumor near her diaphragm.
 
Berti­na has an abdom­i­nal tumor just under her diaphragm that doesn’t appear can­cer­ous, but the Dr. won’t know for sure until he oper­ates.  Bertina’s surgery is very con­cern­ing to me, as it is not an easy one, due to it’s loca­tion in the abdomen.
 

Granny Felic­i­na hav­ing oper­a­tion on left hip on 31st.
 
Granny Feli­ciana has a large tumor on her left hip that needs to be removed.  Both women need prayer cov­er­age.     The out­come of these surg­eries will deter­mine how many days these 2 women must stay in the Mon­tepuez Region­al Hos­pi­tal.  Each women will be accom­pa­nied by a female fam­i­ly mem­ber who will help to care for them in hos­pi­tal. I will update you next week on their progress.
 
BBC GROUPS CONTINUE TO GROW IN NUMBERS
 

Pulling for all their worth! This game real­ly draws the crowds.
 
I am shar­ing a video that shows how the lit­tle ones are work­ing hard to learn how to run a relay race. Their attempt couldn’t be any cuter.
 
 

Lit­tle ones haven’t quite fig­ured out the relay race.

The devo­tions groups are get­ting big­ger thanks to the “cliff hang­er” sto­ries that Car­l­i­tos tells before the games start.
 

Telling a cliff hang­er sto­ry before devo­tions has drawn many more kids to stay longer and hear about Jesus.
 
Keep pray­ing for us, as our 2 motor­bike teams will be grow­ing into 4 motor­bike teams by ear­ly Novem­ber, thanks to a fuel dona­tion from one of our donors. Wait­ing on parts for the 4th bike, so as soon as that is fixed, we will orga­nize a sec­ond 4 man team.  This will allow EACH VILLAGE a week­ly pro­gram. At present, there are so many vil­lages, that it takes the 2 man bike team 2 weeks to vis­it all of them.
 
7th OF APRIL ORPHANS RECEIVE NEW SANDALS
 

Orphans liv­ing in 7th of April Vil­lage in their new san­dals.
 
There are 9 orphaned chil­dren cared for by their 3 Aunts who live in a small vil­lage way out in the bush. This vil­lage, named 7th of April,  sits at the foot of a moun­tain with­in sight of our mis­sion sta­tion, but is not easy to reach by road.  Motor­cy­cles can maneu­ver the road much bet­ter than a pick-up truck. Car­l­i­tos of the BBC dis­cov­ered these orphans in great need when he went there on his motor­bike to share the Gospel a few years back. He plant­ed a church there, and trained up a Pas­tor to teach the Word of God. One of the lit­tle boys couldn’t walk, and we are hap­py to announce that anoth­er orga­ni­za­tion has just donat­ed him a wheel­chair! This is a great help for him and his Aunt, as thanks to our week­ly food give outs to him,  he is now too big to car­ry. Car­l­i­tos told me last week that the children’s shoes were now worn out, so we orga­nized 9 new pairs of san­dals, so they can walk in the hot sand. The tem­per­a­tures are reach­ing above 96F/36C dai­ly, so the sand gets very hot around mid­day.
