Its All Good in South Africa

Hello Everyone

We are both doing very well. We are full of energy and just so excited about what God is doing. Thank you so much for your prayers!! God is moving so very powerfully. Its exciting to go to church to see what God is going to do.

We have a young women from Brazil named Karmen who has been staying with us and ministring in the church and it has been amazing. People are really being changed and transformed. People are being healed of aches and pains and sore thoarts. Esh, its just so exciting. Every Sunday new people are coming and asking Jesus into their hearts. The youth are reaching out into their community and their friends are coming to youth on Saturdays as well. Its just amazing!

On Sunday 4 Nov was our first wedding anniversary and we were so desperate to do something speical and we prayed about what to do, but felt that we still needed to go to church and also on Saturday (3 Nov) was my birthday, which I thought I could keep quite, but my husband and sister-in-law had other ideas.
So on Sunday we arrived very early to church to pray and much to our shock we found that some of the youth and mamas had beat us to it - but they were all busy and excited. We watched and waited to see what would unfold.
After church everyone sung happy birthday and we also celebrated our first wedding anniversary and all the women in the church had worked so hard and really blessed us. They had made us a lunch which was able to feed us and everyone in the church which is now over 100 people in the church. So that was such a huge blessing.
But the best thing for me which was the highlight was our new guard Loysio. He is 22 young man, who is just so hungry for God and has such a servant heart and his birthday is also on the 3rd of Nov and he had never celebrated his birthday because his an orphan and the ladies also had a cake for him. He was just so happy and almost in tears and he said a very heartfelt thank you. God is just so full of surprises, but He sure does answer prayer in ways we just can not imgane.

Another answer to prayer is that we have been praying and longing to go to Pemba in Mozambique for a visit to be with the kids (especially our little Paulina) and go on an outreach and be in a village again. Everytime we checked our account it just wasnt enough. The young lady from Brazil who is staying with us, told us a few days ago, that she had been blessed with some money in Brazil and didnt know what to do with it and she had been praying and that she would like to pay for us BOTH to go to Pemba when she goes to go and help with the Iris Holy Given International School of Missions.
YAY thank you God!!! I haven't really slept since she shared the information with us. Its just such an amazing thing that God is really doing.

Please pray for us as we travel by car to Maputo (leaving on the 11 Nov) and then up to Pemba by plane as soon as we can get an plane ticket. Also please pray for us not to get malaria, as its wet season this is a time when the mozis are out. We will be spending just under two weeks up in Pemba and have feel that this is our time to go. Felitos brother Arthur who is also a pastor in the church we planted in Palm Ridge is more than capable to oversee everything while we are away. Please also pray for Arthur and his family as they serve in the church and look after things while we are away and that Gods presence will just increase and increase.

God bless you all so very much.
We love you and are praying for you!
Anna and Felito
