So it begins!  Tomorrow this team will leave for Mozambique.  Some things have changed since my last post (November!).  We are still doing the business training in Xai-Xai and the rest of the team will be at Hope House training the orphans in life skills like mechanics and bead making.  We have wonderful things to take with us:  volleyball equipment donated by Dicks, knit bears and hats made by Eager Hands for Mozambique, medical supplies donated by Global Links, and a DVD player with some DVDs donated by Crossroaders.  We truly are blessed to be a blessing to others, and it moves me that so many have participated in this trip!  What a gift God gives us in each other~
Our second week in Mozambique should be really interesting.  We will travel to the bush to a remote church/school Les and Mark have established and park our vehicle; then we will walk.  Partnering with two Mozambican teams trained in evangelism, we will travel on foot with a donkey and cart to carry our generator and heavy supplies to spend four days in two villages where there are no roads and share the gospel as we serve the villagers in practical way.  At night, we will show films (Light of Life- Genesis to the birth of Jesus and the Jesus film).  We plan to pray with those in need and just be open to whatever the Holy Spirit has for us there.
The time has come.  All the planning and preparing and praying that has gone into this trip is about to bear fruit. I can't wait to see what God does with this moment in time in the Kingdom.
