This week I visited Inhambane with 5 of my beloved sisters from Maputo.
We encouraged and prayed with neighbors there.
Giving my mom's paintings☺️
Sharing God's love with so many special people.
Sharing with the church group in Cala.
On the way back we stopped by the lake to enjoy God's beautiful creation!
Elina
It was so good to hear about many things that God is doing in each of their churches. Elina told me that she had been asking God for a prayer partner. This year she and Julia started praying on the phone every night at 10pm. Other women heard about this wanted to join, and now there are four groups of six women praying together every night for their marriages, children, churches, work, and communities!

Victoria, Elina, me, Julia.
Victoria told me about a woman in her church who has been widowed twice and she was being rejected by many of her friends and neighbors because they thought she was cursed. She was very depressed and she left the church, but Victoria remembered a Bible study I had done with her about how God loves and cares for widows and orphans. Victoria visited and prayed for her, and shared that Bible study with her. The woman is now doing well and came came back to church!
Tininha
I traveled with young Tininha to Chibuto last week, and we asked her to come to Inhambane this week. I told her it would be a good experience to learn about other ways of life and to show God's love to different people. It was such a good opportunity to talk about boys and cell phones, the importance of spending time with God each day, and serving others!
Everyone helped to prepare the food.
One day Elina made a video of me preparing Mozambican couve step by step!
Shaving the coconut.
Pounding the peanuts.
Sifting the peanut powder.
Peanut powder.
Making coconut milk.
Cooking the couve, coconut milk, and peanut powder (with tomato and spring onions).
Finishing the last step - salt!
Couve with rice ☺️
The plumeria tree in the front of the house continues to grow and multiply. These women were such a beautiful blessing in Inhambane 💗
