The conference in Chibuto was simply and purely amazing.
The weather caused a fuss and it was very unusual to have cold and wet at this time of the year. But the church was over full and those that came were touched, changed and encouraged.
On the Sunday after the service we went to water hole and baptized those that received Jesus into their hearts. It was so special BUT God was moving in the hearts of the young men who were down at water hole to wash their car. They stood and watched the baptisms and Felito called them and within ten minutes all seven of the young men had invited Jesus into their lives and were baptized! God is wonderful!!

Conference Prep Time in Maputo
It was such a great week being with Felito in South Africa and catching up with friends and preparing for conference BUT the work has began doing the last minute things for our first ever conference in Chibuto. Every day we can feel the momentum build. We are praying and expecting big and mighty things.
Its great to spend some time with Paulina and family in Maputo and catch up on everything before conference.
We ask that you keep us in your prayers and for safe travels for us and the visiting teams and conference attendees.
Also need prayer for our pajero, its running but needs a mechanic to look at it.

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.

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!

Our lives are in Gods Hands
It is with great sadness I share this update.
A very good friend and fellow missionary passed away last week.
It took a while for the news to sink in, as we were all in such shock.
Aguinaldo was a man who lived each day as it came. He served God with all of his heart. He was always able to sort the toughest situations with prayer and a good strong coffee. He was a friend, brother, leader, pastor and mentor and will be missed greatly. Enjoy being with your maker and true king friend.
