Outreach
We went on an outreach last weekend. The name of the village continues to escape both of us, but the people do not. We are learning about a new culture…(Right now Brittany is freaking out because there is a rat in the room we are in (or a really big mouse)…welcome to Africa!!) Anyway, we did a weekend outreach in a village that was the last one on a long road close to Pemba (where we are). It is so close to Pemba and yet the people did not have enough food and were very isolated (the last couple miles we drove on a goat path). The Lord gave us favor as the leader of the village, a muslim, was happy to have us there. One man we talked to had been sick ever since he saw a witch doctor 21 years ago. It was a blessing to bring deliverance and hope to him as he received the Lord and burned his necklace from the witch doctor. I fell in love with the pastors we went with and two village boys named Paulo and Augusto who came as translators. They were so funny and so meek I loved their passion for Jesus. Here people see the dramatic need for the Lord and once He has them they are passionate about Him. Augusto introduced me to his mother the other day, he is 16 and already so powerful in the Lord. I prayed for him one day and saw that just his smile was so powerful for the Lord. Hallelujah! Amen! (everybody says that ☺) A lot of people accepted Jesus in the village and I saw 4 healings. Praise Jesus! I was so grateful for the opportunity to experience one aspect of missions work here. In just that one village alone there is so much need. The Lord showed me that in the prophesy about Jesus in Zachariah 9. Jesus comes in gently, riding on a donkey, bringing salvation. That was the word for this village. When people saw kindness and gentleness in us they opened up and their eyes opened up too to see the hope that is in Jesus. The Lord is moving throughout Mozambique, one village at a time, He loves these people and this is real revival, one village, one person at a time. The Lord is not done here though and it is so challenging to be a part of this school and see how the work is done, by becoming nothing for the gospel. In nome de Jesus Amen! (another thing everybody says)

What next?
