Mozambique Update

Praise the Lord that the team from Gila Valley, New Mexico arrived healthy, happy, and did not have a battle with jet lag at all! All of their luggage arrived and we only lost one trunk full of American goodies. Since they have been here they have been to visit the District Commissioner, the immigration officer, the hospital to visit Jumbe after an accident, the market, the tailor to have suits and shirts made to remind them of their time in Zambia, sang songs, shared their testimonies with nationals, and seen the difficulties missionaries can face in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Since I posted last, a great deal of time has been trying to get legal permission for them to enter Mozambique. Today they traveled 3 1/2 hours to Zumbo, Mozambique. This trip was by road and boat to find out that they must have a Mozambiquan visa to enter. Tomorrow (Friday) is the day that we are supposed to go and share the Gospel in Kasenga and Meze. They will travel with Kendall 2 hours from our home to Katete to try and buy a visa in order to share Christ there. Please pray that they are able to get the visa. If they are not able to, then we know that God desires for us to minister to the people of Sinda and Dziko, here in Zambia. Pray for Meze Baptist as 25 people anticipate their baptism this Sunday. Pray for their hearts to understand and be gracious if we are unable to arrive there. We praise the Lord for this team! They are amazing...flexible, fun, encouraging, in love with Christ, and full of excitement to see when, where, and how God is going to work in and through their lives during their time here in Zambia!
