The OMS village church planting program is administered in over 18 African countries through the Into-Africa project in South African. Because Mozambique is a country where OMS has a primary field (missionaries on the ground), we have been closely associated with but not actually a detailed part of that program. After attending a conference last year with our "Into-Africa" brothers and sisters in Johannesburg, we throught it would be good to become very closely aligned with that project as we have a common goal. We have been working towards that end for a while now and communicate regularly with church planters around the continent.
Into-Africa has a wonderful web-site and we just added some information on Mozambique to that web-site. So, we encourage our readers to cruise that web-site and we've provided the link on the left of the page - click on "Into-Africa". It explains the OMS church multiplication program quite well. If you click on "Partnerships / Denominations / Mozambique", you will get linked into what we've added for the Mozambique field. It was fun to put the information together and Erich did an amazing job of putting it all together!
Happy reading!
As an aside, we took our car to South Africa to check the 4-wheel drive. They have to keep the car a couple of weeks, parts are on order, and we're gulping at the upcoming bill; double or triple gulp is more like it. I knew it was close to going out and they confirmed it, when we stopped to check on it on our way back to Mozambique from checking our South African mail drop, they had the front end out from under the car - rebuilding the drive train. The age-old challenge, new or used cars - they get your money one way or the other! Ours is a 1999 with way over 200,000 km on it with a lot of very heavy use. We love it and baby it, but mileage is mileage! It has interfered with our plans as we need to go north again to resolve some difficulties with a training center and assist some of our trainers. We have a small window we can go and the car isn't cooperating with our window of opportunity! Maybe there is a reason yet to be revealed! Another lesson in living by faith.
Fortunately, our school has a vehicle we can rent until ours is ready, but it isn't up the the trip we need to make but does a great job for us around town.
We're short on pictures because our little kodak camera bit the dust. We bought it the last time we were in the States - a little thin camera that isn't flashy and that Ann could easily carry in her purse or me in my pocket. That is two of those little ones that haven't held for us. So, we're going to be a little short on photographs until we get this resolved. The problem seems to be in the electronics so there isn't much we can do about it. I'll have to write more flowery descriptions!
It was a dark and stormy night......
Blessings to you!
Dave & Ann
