Flooding

This year has been a very wet rainy season. With lots of storms. Heavy rain and a few cyclones.
Not only has Mozambique been affected but also some of the countries surrounding, like South Africa. The Limpopo River is over full and unfortunately South Africa government had to open the flood gates which sent thousands of liters of gushing water into Mozambique making the situation worse.

Many of the villages where our churches are have been affected and most of them very severely.
The Mozambique government is overwhelmed by the the amount of people needing help. Many have lost homes, farms, everything they own, children without schools or school books.

Our land in Chibuto is ok, very water logged but safe.

Due to the water starting to recede in areas, looting is starting. So whatever is left is being taken, from homes, shops, hospitals, hotels, supermarkets, clinics etc. so people are trying to return to their homes to protect at night from looters.

We as that you keep everyone affected in your prayers, safe from looting and safe from malaria and sickness and also the crocodiles.

Below are some photos of the flooding in Chokwe.
