2009

Antonio and Rabia planned a big announcement and invited all their family, their friends, and the church (200) people to a party.

Lot's of good cook'in!

Esther blesses the hostess, Rabia.

Melissa and the 'girls' are going to have a good time.

This is Sunday and the announcement will be during the service.

Antonio explains that several years ago his wife was sick. They had gone to all the witch doctors imaginable but Rabia still continue sick. Lot's of money spent. Many chickens given. Nothing! Finally, have recently come to know Christ, they trust Him and live or die (Is 43:1-3) decided to go to the hospital for surgery - a scarry thing here!

Rabia also explained that her ancestors (parents) had been asked to heal them many times, but had failed. She cried and the women cried. She trusted Jesus! She's changed today. Many still locked in fear. I gave the message on Jesus' healing of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5).

The church sang a dramatization of a hopeless person and drunkard that leaves that life to follow Jesus.

It's time to celebrate Rabia's healing!!! The each cut a piece and fed it to each other. Everyone cheered!!!

Let the eating begin!

Twice this number eating around their yard. What a God blessed day. Antonio had more time to talk with his family and it seems they are opening up to the Gospel.

The guard dogs we inherited are getting old, so we bought some German Shepherd pups to love and train.

Yes. We celebrate the 4th of July over - even in Mozambique! (Esther and Gracie Woodrow)

Quite a crowd turned out for our Independence Day. Actually people from all countries. Imagine We sang, prayed, and...

Lot's of chatter, food, fun, and games.

Melissa and Pat (Grandma) enjoy the day!

God surprises us almost every month with some amazing creature. Check out this spider.
