We are home, sweet, dusty Africa!

After two flights and a lot of luggage, we are back in Africa.

Issachar was so excited to see his daddy again after weeks apart. Felito now has a little shadow following him where ever he goes.

Its great to be back in my adopted country. Its amazing to see my husband after weeks apart and family and familiar faces too. But my heart is always torn. When Im in Mozambique I miss my kiwi family and when Im in NZ I miss my moz family. But one thing I have learnt and holding so dear, that Christ's love for me is steady, constant and is forever. I hold onto that where ever I am. My heart may skip a few beats with troubles and worry etc but the Lords love remains and is my shelter.

Its straight into the deep end, now we are home. These next few weeks are going to be busy. We are holding our first conference in Chibuto and Palm Ridge and also hosting two visiting teams from USA with some tag alongs. One being a friend from NZ and another is my Dad.

Our team have been working hard to prepare for the conferences, by advertising, sending invitations, building basic accommodation and toilet blocks, clearing land, buying and ordering food, cleaning and fixing generators and sound systems, meeting with village chiefs to arrange outreaches and praying. Our prayer is that the people that come will receive a fresh touch of God in their lives and leave changed forever, that God would move powerfully and many will receive healing too. That Chibuto wont just be known as a place where God came but as a place where Gods presence resides. We want to see the nation of Mozambique healed, made whole and walking with God, a nation in revival impacting the world!

Please keep us in your prayers as travel and prepare and minister!

More Conference Time

This week I have had the privilege to attend the Arise Church conference. The theme was appointed!
It was a fantastic and amazing and a huge blessing to go. It was my time to be there! The preachers were amazing, truly fresh bread for everyone to eat and chew on ever session. The worship was out of this world! It Just opened the door for God to come and minister, encourage and heal all those in attendance.
God spoke to me and reminded me how much he loves me and that he has called me and that he give me my second-wind. Feeling very excited and refreshed!
So ready to go back to Mozambique and let loose!
Am pumped, on a personal note, God has been speaking to me about REVIVAL. Just imagine what revival looks like! For me it means children receiving the Fathers love and the spirit of adoption and being adopted into forever families, large crops to feed everyone, clean water easily accessed, hospitals closing down, churches full, families praying together and many healings and salvations.

Kiwi Time

The month of August Issachar and I are in NZ.
Its great to be back for a visit to see family and friends and go to church.
Issachar is just loving preschool!

Send me a message, and we can catch up!

Refreshing Times

The month of July was an awesome month. It was a time of resting and refreshing. We were able to meet up with family and friends and also attend the Hillsong Conference in Sydney.

The conference was full on, with long days and late nights. But it was worth it. We had the privellage to be apart of over 25000 people that came together to worship our King and be blessed and streched by the word of God. The speakers spoke their heart out and Gods Spirit was poured out with not just our lives encouraged, transformed.

Issachar attended kidsong and had a blast. He learnt new songs, memory verses and made lots of friends.

It was awesome to be able to spend time with family during the month also.

God blessed our socks off!
