June already, and it has been a month with excellent progress seeing Christ as life in Mozambique. We witnessed the sick healed, and a widow accept Christ as her savior. We've had bible studies in the bush and fed the hungry.
As a base, we are pioneering a move of Christ to a newly discovered area untouched by missionaries and organizations. Working with our Mozambican brothers and sisters from Igreja Viva Vida we have facilitated three large distributions of manna packs and various goods like clothing, blankets, and shoes. Despite all the government's restrictions, we are still serving and witnessing God pour out His Spirit.
This month started with the Lord leading us to a region in the Nhamantanda district called Chiadeia; with over 13,000 people, their circumstance is desperate. Chiadeia is a region with very little water and virtually no wells. The typical hand-dug wells are unsafe and pose significant health risks to the community. They are commonly a source of waterborne illnesses like cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis. We visited the area, led by the Holy Spirit, and met with a government official who took us to a hand-dug well that provides for hundreds of families. The well was in poor condition and very deep with little water at the bottom. We also visited two schools in a poor state that we believe God to provide to repair and rebuild.
Our Family has spent time in the village of Nhampapala feeding the locals both spiritual and physical food. The Holy Spirit made Himself known with authority and in demonstration of miracles. We were all blessed to experience His love for His children. A widow came to visit, and after the time spent in the Word, my Wife Haley inquired of her salvation, finding out she needed a Savior. Amelia, a widow, advanced in age met Jesus for the first time as she responded in repentance, accepting Christ.
