In the last 14 days, Pas­tor Alber­to, has been evan­ge­liz­ing in NAMUNO DISTRICT.  Specif­i­cal­ly the 6 remote (unreached) vil­lages sur­round­ing our SHIMWHEELY (Shim-wheel-ee) church.

His new off-road motor bike is great­ly pay­ing for itself as it gets him to places where the gospel of Jesus Christ has nev­er been heard.

The num­bers above reflect only ADULT atten­dance, as the chil­dren at each meet­ing were “too numer­ous to count”!

The har­vest is ripe and Jesus is mov­ing in a big way in rur­al areas!

UNUSUAL CHALLENGES

Last week a huge swarm of HONEY BEES attached him as he rode back to Shimwheely from an evan­ge­lis­tic meet­ing in one of these villages.

He scraped a tree, as he tried to out dis­tance them, and, PTL, was not injured besides a few bee stings.

Only minor dam­age was done to the mir­ror and light on the bike, so we are grate­ful that both man and bike sur­vived the attack.  Our bees are known for killing peo­ple here with the sheer mass of ven­om that a swarm can inject into a person.

Keep Pas­tor Alber­to in prayer for safety.

COLD WEATHER: AN ADDED FIRE HAZARD WITH GRASS ROOFS

Pas­tor Alber­to called Fri­day after­noon to ask help as the Shimwheely Church’s Assis­tant Pastor’s house caught fire on Fri­day.  They lost everything.

The par­ents were har­vest­ing food in their field, leav­ing the old­est child to look after the younger chil­dren at home.  The old­est was cook­ing break­fast for the younger ones, when a heavy wind swirled by, pick­ing up embers from the fire, and loft­ed them into the grass roof of their mud hut.  MUD HUTS WITH GRASS ROOFS explode into flames faster than a dried up Christ­mas Tree!  I’ve seen this first hand, and every­thing inside the mud hut is lost in about 10 minutes.

YOUR GIFTS AT WORK:

We are get­ting togeth­er a “care pack­age” of essen­tials to help them out, and will be send­ing it to their loca­tion Sun­day morn­ing.  Pas­tor Alber­to will return with the truck for a few days brief vis­it to his fam­i­ly before return­ing to the bush to dis­ci­ple these new believers.

30 TONS OF RICE IN THE BARN, WITH 117 TONS OF SUPER DRY CORN ON IT’S WAY

Our trucks don’t rest dur­ing food buy­ing time, and this week’s pro­gram was RICE (in the hull)!

We buy it from the vil­lagers, straight from their fields locat­ed under MAKU MOUNTAIN, just 12 miles away.  Maku is the tallest moun­tain in all of Mozam­bique, and looks just like a huge set of Micky Mouse Ears.

Busy week ahead for sure, but then the barns will be full.

August begins dis­tri­b­u­tion time, when all that has come in, will then go out to the orphans in need.

Baby Soz­in­ho and Fos­ter Moth­er Fati­ma, came bun­dled up to receive addi­tion­al baby food today.  Soz­in­ho now weighs 9.9 lbs (4.45kg) at 6.5 months.

51F AND WINDY, NOT FUNNY WHEN THAT IS BEDROOM CONDITIONS AT 4 A.M.

  Bun­dled Bun­ny is a bet­ter name for me these days as I usu­al­ly wear 2 lay­ers of clothes to bed, and put on a 3rd when get­ting up predawn.

In Moz., we only have 2 “cool” months which have turned into RECORD COLD MONTHS this year.  This week’s low set a new record with temps record­ed at 51F (13C) INSIDE our homes, and a bit­ter 48F (12C) out­side, made worse by a strong, steady wind.

You may laugh, but we have no heat in our homes, since HOT is our norm.  So hud­dling over a hot cup of tea, is the usu­al rou­tine for me as I get up pre-dawn to have time with the Lord, and get ready for the day’s work.  Tak­ing a bath at mid­day is the norm, as it is too cold by sundown.

So while you sweat in the USA, remem­ber that Bush Bunny’s do NOT come with Snow Suits!

Until next week!

Bless­ings,

Bush Bun­ny Bren­da Lange

SOZINHO OUT OF HOSPITAL, NOW LIVING WITH US.

SOZINHO with a health­i­er out­look as he has gained 2.2 lbs (1kg) in TWO WEEKS!

His moth­er was at the hos­pi­tal when we picked him up Tues­day morn­ing, June 23rd, but only stayed long enough to see what house he would live in.

Most 16 year olds in Mozam­bique are very mature and nur­tur­ing towards infants (at least our girls are), so this teen is the exception.

He is gain­ing weight and look­ing health­i­er, as you can see from his pho­to.  When he first came, every bone in his body showed hor­ri­bly and his legs and arms were just tooth­picks.  AMAZING every 3 hourly feed­ings can do over a 2 week period.

We PTL that he sur­vived his hor­ri­ble ordeal and is now part of our family.

CORN AT MELUCO

The 36 tons need­ed to feed the 515 orphans in Melu­co is now prop­er­ly sacked, stacked, and in the barn.  The neigh­bor­hood water well that serves over 500 fam­i­lies received a com­plete over­haul, thanks to Manuel and his team of experts.  He said it looked like some­one had tried to fix it, but did it wrong, and thus the WHOLE “innards” of the well had to be pulled and replaced.  A 3 day job since they had to pull out, cut, recon­nect­ed the pipes with pipe unions, and then let it set for 2 days to dry.  It’s a major job, but since the corn pro­cess­ing takes 2 days, the team was able to fin­ish the job before they left on Thurs­day morning.

BABY DANIEL RECOVERING FROM MUMPS TOGETHER WITH THROAT/EAR INFECTION

DANIEL with mumps, com­fort­ed by Fos­ter Moth­er Ernestina. 

June 28th, DANIEL, feel­ing much bet­ter, is stand­ing at 1 year next to his new brother.

 SOZINHO (7 months), and Sozinho’s Fos­ter Moth­er, Fatima.

Good care brings life to our chil­dren.  SIX MONTHS AGO, Daniel looked as skin­ny as Soz­in­ho is now.

But thanks to much prayer and our great rela­tion­ship with the Bala­ma Dr. and hos­pi­tal, we were able to get a pre­scrip­tion by phone, which could be filled in the next town (Mon­tepuez, 30 miles/60km away).

The Bala­ma hos­pi­tal was out of the much need­ed liq­uid antibi­ot­ic for his throat infec­tion, but thanks to my “stash of baby meds”, and Capena’s “con­nec­tions” at the Mon­tepuez hos­pi­tal, Daniel received all 3 med­ica­tions he need­ed and is on the mend.

DAWN’S SITUATION

DAWN’S LAB WORK revealed a very weak immune sys­tem.  We con­sult­ed with 2 doc­tors and the head of a pri­vate clin­ic in Pem­ba, but all three were in agree­ment that she should NOT live in a malar­ia area, and rec­om­mend­ed she depart as soon as pos­si­ble to pre­vent fur­ther illness.

Since her arrival on April 8, Dawn has been a real “troop­er”, but suf­fered through malar­ia, a res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tion, and the ever so dead­ly Dengue Fever (just last week).  (Both malar­ia and Dengue are mos­qui­to trans­mit­ted dis­eases that eas­i­ly kill those with lit­tle resistance.)

All 3 sick­ness­es occurred dur­ing an EIGHT WEEK peri­od, reveal­ing to all of us that some­thing was not right, and thus the lab exam­i­na­tion at the Provin­cial Hos­pi­tal in Pem­ba.  For her own safe­ty, she will depart TOMORROW, July 29th.

DAWN has been a GREAT HELP to me with her many man­age­ment and orga­ni­za­tion­al skills, and her depart­ing is leav­ing a BIG HOLE in our staff.

The chil­dren dear­ly love her as 6 days a week she spent her after­noons with them, teach­ing them Eng­lish and many new games.

She will be great­ly missed by all of us and we know that if she decides to con­tin­ue in mis­sions, that God will guide her to a malar­ia free place where she can serve Him well.

ABBIE WHEELER DEPARTS ON JULY 1ST

School time soon approach­es for Abbie, and she departs from here as sched­uled.  (We tried to get Dawn and Abbie on the same plane out of Pem­ba, but there were no seats.)

Abbie filled in where ever need­ed, and received many hours of trop­i­cal med­i­cine expe­ri­ence, (and long sleep­less nights) by car­ing for both Cait­lyn and Dawn dur­ing their sicknesses.

She also worked dai­ly with the chil­dren and helped our teenage boys improve their bas­ket­ball skills.

WE SINCERELY THANK BOTH THESE YOUNG LADIES FOR ALL THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR PROGRAM.

SEARCH IS ON FOR NEW HELPERS, AS BUSH BUNNY IS ONCE AGAIN THE ONLY MISSIONARY AT THE BALAMA SITE

If you know of some­one who will give a year, then have them con­tact us.

Much thanks!

Bless­ings,

BABY SOZINHO CONTINUES TO DEFY THE ODDS!

Our lit­tle “fight­er” gained over 1 POUND as of Wed. this week!  Noth­ing like a lit­tle food to get the body going.

The moth­er com­plete­ly aban­doned him at the hos­pi­tal after 1 day, so it looks like he may stay per­ma­nent­ly in our care.

OK BY US!  No child should be sub­ject­ed to star­va­tion by their own mother.

He is still in the hos­pi­tal, but Doc­tor Fumo says he should be released into our care by this Wed. (June 24th).

He is still run­ning a bit of a fever from his res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tion, and is receiv­ing IV antibi­otics to squash that infection.

I got him a baby rat­tle in Pem­ba this week, as he now has the ener­gy to begin grab­bing things and hold­ing on.

Will keep you post­ed as he progresses.

Baby Daniel with his newest rat­tle toy.  Now WALKING at 1 year with help to balance.

PASTORS FRED AND ALBERTO RECEIVE NEW MOTORBIKES (thanks to gen­er­ous donors)

Pas­tors Fred and Alber­to with their 2 new Off Road Bikes.

Their old bikes were lit­er­al­ly being held togeth­er by wire, glue, and rub­ber cords, after 3 years of hard rid­ing as they took the gospel to the mul­ti­tudes in 2 districts.

These new bikes are still 50cc motors, but the frames are made of much stronger mate­ri­als with bet­ter shocks.  THANK YOU to the many peo­ple who gave gen­er­ous­ly so that the gospel could go forth this year.  With­out new bikes it would not have been possible.

PASTOR ALBERTO TAKING THE GOSPEL TO 6 VILLAGES IN THE NAMUNO BUSH

 Alber­to with his bike, trav­el­ing to Namuno to spread the gospel in 6 very remote vil­lages who are total­ly UNREACHED.

Our top evan­ge­list, Alber­to wast­ed no time get­ting started!

He left WED.  with his new “Bush Bash­ing Off Road Motor­bike”, for Chimweely (Shim-wheel-ee) Vil­lage where he will be host­ed by our Pas­tor Anife for the next 4 weeks.  Pas­tor Anife is the largest of the 4 Aguas Vivas church­es in Namuno Dis­trict with over 150 members.

Togeth­er, they will be evan­ge­liz­ing and church plant­i­ng until Decem­ber (end of the dry sea­son).  They will also be inter­view­ing young men to serve as AWANA lead­ers for these 6 vil­lages. Once these 2 men are locat­ed, then AWANA Leader Car­l­i­tos Jorge will train them up and help orga­nize the new Awana Clubs for Namuno.

36 TONS AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

A lot of hap­py, healthy kids of course!

Meluco’s corn is now in the barn.

7 ton truck loaded for Melu­co trip.  Work to include a com­plete over­haul on the neigh­bor­hood well near our mis­sion AND pro­cess­ing 35 TONS of corn for long term storage.

Syl­vai, our Melu­co Dis­trict Orphan­age Man­ag­er and his crew of 2 men have been liv­ing in the bush for the last 3 weeks.  Their goal: weigh, buy, and trans­port 36 TONS of corn to our Melu­co ware­house for the 515 orphans liv­ing there.

Our 7 ton truck, loaded with a 4 man team from Bala­ma, as well as 4 TONS of beans and all that is need­ed to process this corn, will leave super ear­ly Mon­day morn­ing for a 4 day stay in Melu­co.  THE WATER WELL that serves the mis­sion sta­tion is bro­ken, so this team has their work cut out for them.  They will arrive midafter­noon on Mon­day, unload, and then work on the water well.  For with­out water, over 1000 peo­ple with suf­fer since the only oth­er well is a long dis­tance away.

Corn pro­cess­ing will begin ear­ly Tues­day morning.

Note:  Beans do not grow in the Melu­co area, so each year, Bala­ma pro­vides the 13 TONS need­ed to give the chil­dren the pro­tein need­ed to main­tain healthy bodies.

DAWN HORGER HAS BEEN SICK SINCE LAST MONDAY with what we thought was malar­ia (her 2nd case in 6 weeks, which is not good).

She is still weak, but improv­ing slow­ly.  I will be tak­ing her to see a Doc­tor in Pem­ba on Mon­day for a com­plete blood work up to make sure she is healthy enough to con­tin­ue serv­ing with us in Balama. 

BLESSINGS,

Baby Soz­in­ho, weighs only 7 lbs (3.2 kg) at his SIX MONTH mark this week!

His young teenage moth­er devel­oped mas­ti­tis 4 months ago, and Social Ser­vices sent them to receive life-sav­ing  baby for­mu­la from us.

Soz­in­ho weighed only 3kg (6.6 lbs) at 2 months, but with his mother’s lack of breast milk, poor infant growth is typical.

I noticed 3 weeks ago that he was very slow to gain weight on our 21% pro­tein HYPO CEREAL, espe­cial­ly for­mu­lat­ed for mal­nour­ished babies.

Since he showed a good weight gain his first month, I imme­di­ate­ly sus­pect­ed the moth­er wasn’t feed­ing him, so she was counciled.

He pre­sent­ed 2 weeks ago IN SERIOUS CONDITION with a res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tion, had lost 0.5 POUNDS (250 gms) weight, and need­ed imme­di­ate med­ical atten­tion.   I imme­di­ate­ly took moth­er and baby to the hospital.

The Emer­gency Room staff gave him imme­di­ate treat­ment and would admit him to Pediatrics.

But after I left,  Sozinho’s moth­er ran away with the him, refus­ing treatment.

Not know­ing where she lived, we had lit­tle hope of find­ing her.  I prayed for that lit­tle one, for only Jesus could save him now.

PTL for Jesus heard our plea!

Soz­in­ho sur­vived the last 7 days despite poor feed­ing and a res­pi­ra­to­ry infection!

This very young moth­er was obvi­ous­ly uncon­cerned for Baby Sozinho’s health, so when she walked in on June 11th,  Cape­na and I took her imme­di­ate­ly to meet with Social Ser­vices at the hos­pi­tal.  Social Ser­vices had to force her to give up Soz­in­ho, who was imme­di­ate­ly start­ed on life sav­ing antibi­otics in the Emer­gency Room, and then Admit­ted under the care of 2 of our best fos­ter mothers.

The Social Ser­vices Direc­tor and Cape­na then escort­ed the moth­er to her vil­lage to meet with her fam­i­ly and request cus­tody of the baby for up to a year.

The fam­i­ly was VERY EAGER to com­ply, as they agreed this young 15 year old was not tak­ing prop­er care of the infant.

Doc­u­ments will be writ­ten up this week so that Soz­in­ho remains in our care until he is a strong toddler.

The hos­pi­tal doesn’t allow pho­tos, but I will show you his CUTE LITTLE FACE with those BIG BLACK EYES as soon as he is released this com­ing week.

When I vis­it­ed him this morn­ing, all I could see were those 2 BIG BLACK EYES star­ing out from his hood­ed jersey.

WE ARE IN WINTER with 55 degrees our nor­mal sun­rise tem­per­a­ture INSIDE OUR HOUSES!

No heat exists in our homes or in the hos­pi­tal, so every­one has to dress warm.

Baby Sozinho’s body may be ema­ci­at­ed, but his mind is sharp, for he miss­es noth­ing going on around him.

Our 2 fos­ter moth­ers say he is an easy keep­er as long as he is fed when he asks.

Babies who have been starved eat small amounts (less than 2 ounces/60ml) very fre­quent­ly, and PANIC if not fed quickly.

CRYING uses up calo­ries at a fast rate, so our moth­ers are under orders to NOT let him cry.  Feed him with­out delay.

26 BABIES ARE IN OUR FORMULA PROGRAM AT PRESENT, and it looks like Soz­in­ho will be our 3rd res­i­dent baby this year.

 CHILDREN’S DAY, JUNE 1^ST,  CHILDREN BEING SERVED A RICE AND  GOAT FEAST BY FOSTER MOTHERS

The babies who live with us pro­vide our old­er orphan girls a great learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty in baby care (besides being fun to cuddle).

For in this coun­try, girls with­out moth­ers to train them in good baby care have lit­tle oppor­tu­ni­ty to learn the prop­er skills.

TWO NEW AWANA PROGRAMS OPEN IN REMOTE VILLAGES

Sat­ur­day our  AWANA team con­sist­ing of Car­l­i­tos Jorge, Nel­son, and new assis­tant leader, Rufi­no, trav­eled to NTETE Vil­lage to meet with the chil­dren from the Assem­bly of God church.   FIFTY THREE school age chil­dren dear­ly loved play­ing the games and hear­ing the sto­ry of cre­ation.  Next week, we expect a huge crowd, as these 53 lit­tle “adver­tis­ers” were told to invite all their friends.  Ntete has over 2,500 chil­dren, so we plan to start pro­grams in sev­er­al areas of the vil­lage in order to keep the groups in man­age­able numbers.

SUNDAY, Car­l­i­tos Jorge met with vil­lage lead­ers and the chil­dren of NQUIDE Vil­lage (about 5km or 2.5 miles) down the road from Ntete.  We plan to kick off that pro­gram next Saturday.

GOD’S WORD IS GOING FORTH!

FOR THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD THE WAY IN THESE END TIME DAYS.

BEFORE OUR TRUCKS ROLLED OUT, we prayed for super nat­ur­al strength, endurance, and safe­ty for our Bala­ma corn buy­ing team.

God answered in a BIG WAY!

Our 100 man team broke 3 Bala­ma records in 5 days.

Unload­ing sacks weigh­ing 165 to 176 lbs EACH.  Amaz­ing strength, bal­ance, and coor­di­na­tion need­ed to con­trol this kind of weight on your head.

1.        TUESDAY:  Team moved a record 830 sacks of corn in 8 hours.  650 sacks (42.5 TONS) weighed, sacked, and stored in the barn IN FOUR HOURS, with anoth­er 180

sacks (14.4 TONS) trucked in by 2 p.m.

2.       THURSDAY:  REPEATED TUESDAY’S RECORD by putting anoth­er 650 sacks in the barn!

As the 100 ton pile gets high­er, a stair­case of sacks is built that the men must climb while car­ry­ing the sacks.  These sacks only weigh 132 lbs. (60Kg), and only our strongest men are able to man­age the climb to get it to the top.

3.       FRIDAY, our teams reached deep into the bush to haul in anoth­er 400 sacks, leav­ing only 300 for Monday’s work load.  Mon­day, we should com­plete our JUNE GOAL by hav­ing 200 TONS of corn in the barn.  With the help of 2 large trucks, what use to take 3 weeks, now only takes 6 days!

 Some­times, a help­ing hand is need­ed from the guys on top.   100 TONS sits in this stack, ready for dis­tri­b­u­tion to the orphans in July.

FOOD BUYING CONTINUES THROUGH JULY

This 200 tons of corn meets the dis­tri­b­u­tion needs for 2,500 orphans from June to Jan­u­ary.  Anoth­er 100 tons of “super dry” corn is need­ed to feed the chil­dren from Feb­ru­ary to May.  It will be ready by late July.  Local­ly grown peanuts and rice will also be ready in ear­ly July, com­plet­ing our year­ly food buy­ing needs for the children.

  Wid­ows enjoy­ing the children’s feast last week.  These 24 ded­i­cat­ed women and 2 men are the fos­ter par­ents for the 104 orphans who are direct­ly in our care in Balama.

BUSH BUNNY TIDBITS

We are very sad that Caitlin Pruitt con­tract­ed malar­ia last Fri­day, and must short­en her stay by fly­ing out lat­er this week.  She is recov­er­ing well, but all con­cerned feel it best that she not risk a 2nd infec­tion with only a few weeks left to her stay.  Caitlin is attend­ing RN School, and we want her to regain full strength before begin­ning the very busy semes­ter she faces in August.

Abbie Wheel­er will com­plete her 6 week vol­un­teer pro­gram with us in Balama.

 WORDS can­not express how much JOY our team feels at hav­ing com­plet­ed anoth­er June corn buy­ing sea­son THANKS TO YOUR HELP.

It takes ALL OF US work­ing “hand in hand” to save the lives of orphans and widows.

Some plant, some water, while oth­ers are sent to reap the harvest

If any 3 of these steps are miss­ing, then the har­vest fails.

Each per­son help­ing us pro­vides a valu­able piece of this process.

Thanks to your prayers, love gifts, and vol­un­teer helpers, God’s har­vest of souls is com­ing forth in a mighty way in north­ern Mozambique.

THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!

NOTE:  Our final licens­ing doc­u­ments are once again before the Nation­al Social Service’s Com­mit­tee in Maputo.  We expect an answer in July.

SUPER FUN!

106 ORPHANS IN OUR CARE ALL READY FOR A RICE AND GOAT FEAST FOR THEIR PARTY

After bustling around all week prepar­ing for corn buy­ing, our staff decid­ed to wrap up the month with our annu­al “CHILDREN’S DAY BIRTHDAY PARTY” on May 30th.

ABBIE, CAITLIN, AND DAWN GIVE OUT COOKIES AND GIANT SUCKERS, YUM !

EARNISTINE SERVES A  FESTIVE MEAL OF RICE AND GOAT TO SOME OF OUR CHILDREN.

Nor­mal­ly held on June 1st, Nation­al Children’s Day in Mozam­bique, we moved it up for an impor­tant reason.

The younger chil­dren are out of school on Mon­day to cel­e­brate this hol­i­day, but our 11 high school stu­dents must attend class­es.   Couldn’t let them miss their own birth­day par­ty!  (Since we don’t know most of the children’s true birth­days, all 106 of them cel­e­brate togeth­er on this day.)

Our Youth Pas­tors pro­vid­ed Chris­t­ian music with the new sound sys­tem the chil­dren donat­ed to the church. The chil­dren love to sing and dance to this music.

Bas­ket­ball and soc­cer games, went on simul­ta­ne­ous to girl’s com­pe­ti­tion jump rope, and sack races, while the younger chil­dren had a fun time on the swings and giant slide.

In prepa­ra­tion for the par­ty, all 106 orphans received new clothes which they proud­ly wore to the party.

Our par­ty feast includ­ed a goat and rice plate, fol­lowed by Birth­day treats–packet of cook­ies, a bal­loon, and 2 giant suck­ers of dif­fer­ent types. (bub­ble gum and yogurt)  Yummy!

LITTLE DIXON, AGE FOUR, WAITED PATIENTLY AS THE LAST PERSON IN LINE, SO HE COULD HAVE HELP IN BLOWING UP HIS BALLOON.

Need­less to say, the 4 hour par­ty was a great success!

CORN IN THE BARN FOR MONDAY’S KICK OFF!

The gov­ern­ment has been super coop­er­a­tive in let­ting us fetch food a few days ear­ly this year, since beans and corn are in short supply.

Today, we weighed, and stored 300+ sacks  (154lbs./70kg each) of corn so we can jump right in to pro­cess­ing it for stor­age ear­ly Monday.

BUSY WEEK AHEAD, as we hope to buy and store 200 TONS of corn in our barn in the next 12 days.

Yes­ter­day, our staff and I hand­picked 80 men to help us accom­plish our goal.

It will be a bit “corny” around here for the next 2 weeks, (count­ing corn sacks in our sleep), but the sac­ri­fice is worth it.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

With­out the Orphans Unlim­it­ed Fam­i­ly of con­trib­u­tors, and our fab­u­lous staff (both in the USA and Moz.) over 2,500 orphans and wid­ows would suf­fer severe mal­nu­tri­tion that could kill them.

Bless­ings to all of you!
