It is always good to hear from you. Friends are our greatest treasures in this world. I really appreciate your praying for me. I know I could not get through things in Mozambique with out prayer. I love what God is doing here, but things have been super stressful financially. I believe God allows lean times so He can change what ever attitudes do not bring Him pleasure. The amazing thing is every day somehow there is food. What a faithful God we serve.

The highlight of my month was staying in a distant mud hut village. We dedicated two of our new churches in Nacaca and Kampin. The village people live simple lives with nearly no outside contact. They trade their crops for whatever they need to survive. There is no medical care, running water or wells, no electricity or shops. These beautiful people had never had access to the gospel before our teams arrived. Old tribal women wear black wooden rings under their noses, as ornaments. What a delight to see children and village elders worshipping Jesus with us in our newly dedicated mud church. Dust flew as we danced on the dirt floor thanking God for blessing us with a place to worship Him. We visited some village houses to pray for the sick. In one house, a man was dying and could hardly walk. After we prayed for him he beamed with joy and walked to our feast proclaiming his healing! One man we prayed for in his hut was deaf since early child hood. He was thrilled along with all the family as Jesus opened up his ears. An old granny also laughed heartily as she was blessed with her hearing again after years of near silence.

I am off to another distant village now. Thanks for standing with us.

Love in Jesus,

Heidi
