How to Help

From my colleagues in Mozambique:

Cylone Idai hit Beira during the night of 14th to 15th March bringing widespread devastation to the city and wider region.  Reports indicate that about 90% of the buildings and infrastructure has been adversely affected in Beira, the second largest city in Mozambique.  While the cyclone ravaged all in its path and left most of the region under water, the sheer amounts of rainfall further inland as far as Zimbabwe has compounded the situation.  This natural disaster has led to a huge humanitarian crisis with a raising death toll by the day.

We appeal for prayer for the estimated 1.7 million Mozambicans that have been directly affected.  Pray also for those also affected in Zimbabwe and Malawi. 

One Mission ministries and missionaries are based further south in Maputo (1000km) and have not been affected by the cyclone.  In terms of those directly related to us, members of a church in Mopeia, Zambezia province lost their homes, belongings and crops.  We are preparing to respond in solidarity with those affected.  We intend to join forces with mission partners in the region to offer relief and support for the rebuilding of peoples lives in the worst affected areas.  All donations to OMS Mozambique Disaster Relief # 402600 are greatly appreciated. Pray that doors would open for the gospel to be shared in Word and deed by Christians locally and globally. Colossians 4 v 3.

Cyclone Idai

Please pray for all those in Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique who were affected by Cyclone Idai.

Please pray for the rescue efforts, and for the love and comfort of Jesus for all those who lost loved ones. 

Harvest

My mom's banana tree here reminds me of the harvest around us.

After everyone had a banana at one of our conferences in Mozambique, this picture was taken of Abel, who has a great sense of humor! My co-workers and I have had the privilege of walking with, encouraging, teaching, and investing in him.

I praise God that Abel, in the middle, continues to follow Christ and he works with the young people in his local church. 

"...Jesus said to His disciples, "the harvest is great but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest."
Luke 10:2

I've gotten to know many Mozambican students over the years. In Quissico, where my house is, there are 3 large schools and plans for 2 more schools to be built.

I've only done a little informal English teaching, but when I've asked many students about their hopes and dreams, one of the things I've heard the most is that they want to learn English to be better equipped for a variety of jobs.

Would you join with me in asking God to send out workers to His harvest in Mozambique, including people called by God to help and serve in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) with students in Quissico?
