Heading to Mozambique

Our time at Sparrow ended well. The Lord blessed us with sweet moments of goodbye with the kids, and the other volunteers. We look forward to sharing our experience with all of you in depth when we return.

We have reached Mokopane, South Africa., where we are staying with Koos and Jeni Basson. We are excited about our trek into Mozambique with Koos and his team tomorrow. Our role will be to conduct the children's ministry. We think most of the children's ministry will be centered around the village school. From what Koos has told us of the school, they lack the most basic items (pencils, paper, scissors, etc). We are going today to purchase school supplies and hope that will be a blessing to both the children and the teachers.

The area we are going to does not have a strong church or local faith leaders, so much of the work Koos will be doing is to build up those he has met on previous visits and further establish a presence in the area. Please pray for our interpreter and for clarity of understanding. This is one of Koos' "young" missions, and we are excited about what is in store!

We will return on Monday....then head back to Jo-Burg Tuesday, and fly back to the States on Wednesday and arrive on Thursday!

What a journey!

What an adventure!

Peace, love and Africa-
Rachelle and Kate
