Well at Picoco

The well at Picoco is underway as of today.  The drillers have encountered rocks that are causing problems but they will continue tomorrow.  We have a series of meetings tomorrow and will probably not make it out to Picoco until the next day.  Pray with us that they will be successful in penetrating the rocky part of the ground into good clear water.  It will really improve conditions in this community.

Today, I gave a presentation of sorts to our team in our weekly meeting to explain about our recent trip north.  I continue to be filled with a sense of urgency about the work and especially in the community of Rieque.  The lady in the back left of this photo is burned into my consciousness.  She is not a stranger - we have held her hands and heard her story.  She is very very sick and I cannot forget her and her community.  My heart's desire is that God will reach from eternity into time and place his healing touch upon this dear lady.  I pray that as a mission and as a church, we can affect lasting change in her small community 100 km outside of Nampula.  Pray for this small community and the considerable challenges it faces.  Pray for our small church as it develops and offers a lasting hope to this community.   There is such opportunity in this area and I pray that God will raise up people with a passion for the lost of Mozambique who will join with us and grab hold of our vision for church planting with accompanying compassionate ministries.  

Blessings to you on this glorius day.
