Worship with Cathi & Car Update

Worship with Cathi
Cathi is a recent graduate from Iris Ministries International School of Missions has been staying with Felito & I. It has been such a huge blessing. She has a heart for worship & has also been teaching & leading worship while she has been here. It’s been very amazing.

What a difference it makes during worship. One of the great things is that now during
worship we are really worshipping. God is teaching us to be thankful & when we enter
into worship we start by praying then we sing & as we sing, His very presence comes. People are being touched, healed & just so very blessed. Even the children are enjoying worship. Some of the children are seeing visions & hearing God’s voice. It’s just so very exciting. One of the songs that Cathi has taught is “I’m Trading My Sorrows”. Once we got past the pronouncing of words the song just took off. It’s so great to see everyone just praising God without hesitation & totally
unashamedly.
Please pray for Cathi, as tomorrow she leaves for Uganda for several weeks before she returns to us here at the end of September. Uganda is a beautiful place, many people are hungry to hear the Word of the Lord, but it is also dangerous. Please pray for God’s protection & for divine
appointments as she ministers & makes new friends & may she have many amazing testimonies on her return of God’s goodness.

Ward 61 – Pastors Forum
Last Sunday we were invited to attend the first of many meetings with other pastors
from around the community of Ward 61. We found out many interesting & helpful things.
It was wonderful to talk to some of the pastors after the meeting & hear their heart
& visions. It’s so very encouraging & exciting. We are expectant to see what God will do in this area. Please pray that as pastors from Ward 61 that we can continue to stay united in our work for the Lord.

Car Update
Praise the Lord. This week Felito got his beloved Padjero back, after months of us taking it to various mechanics. It served us so very faithfully in Pemba for all the outreaches and various activities. It has survived very harsh terrain. We are so happy to have it back, sitting in the driveway, though it’s still not 100%, but we are believing for a miracle. One of the reasons it has been huge difficultly to fix, is that the Padjero is an Japanese import & in South Africa, there aren’t many Japanese imports, so its hard to get the parts required, which means even harder to find a registered mechanic to fix it. Another difficulty is that the car is registered in Mozambique and like us; it requires a visa, which also lasts for one month, just like Felito’s visa. Thank you for your faithful prayers. Please pray, that God opens a door for us to be able to find the last parts to make the car in perfect running condition. We would not be able to survive without it.
