Back in Africa! (Almost home)

Hello Family and Friends

We are back in AFRICA!! It feels so great to be back and almost into a normal routine.

We had a blast in Brazil visiting friends, making new friends, drinking coffee, learning about the discipleship programme and also ministering. Every church which hosted us, welcome us with open arms with a cup of coffee!!  It was such an honour to minister and meet some very on fire people. God really ministered in peoples hearts. We want to thank you all for your emails and prayers for while we were away. We ask for prayer as we cross the border into Mozambique early next week, as the church in Brazil give us secondhand clothes to be donated and sometimes this can be tricky at the border. We have all the documents but believing for a simple crossing.

Issachar is a star and travelled so well!! He loves being on a plane and chats to anyone who will chat to him! He is not afraid to ask questions or chat to the person standing inline or next to him or simply walking past.  I think he is like his Dad - a passion for people and a passion to see them walking with Jesus. It was great to see him grow spiritually and learn to pray boldly while we were in Brazil. He loves to pray for the sick and uses his simple prayer...in Jesus name, no more owie, in Jesus name amen! Its so innocent and cute and brings a smile to me all the time. God answered every time he prayed and he is learning that God answers prayer too. So exciting seeing him encouraged!!

We are in Johannesburg this week, catching up on some much needed sleep and ministering in the church in Palm Ridge. Once we arrive back in Mozambique its all go. We have a team arriving in two weeks from the WorldRace which we are very excited about. They will be with us for a month. They will minister in the church in Khongolote and in Chibuto as well on outreaches once a week and our new church plant in Inhabane. While the team is with us, we will be starting the discipleship programme with a few people within the groups from the men, women, youth and children. We are very excited to start and to see their lives change and simply grow in their walk with Jesus.

Felitos laptop crashed in Brazil and we are trying to get that fixed while we are in Johannesburg, so we do apologize if our contact is not as often, but we are believing it will be fixed and working, as we wouldn't be able to survive without a laptop.

Thanks for all your prayers and support! Without them we wouldn't be here!!

Love and Blessings
Anna, Felito and Issachar
