We are spending most of our time here at the Zimpeto Center, but we have a lot of opportunities to go out on outreaches as well. The team has spent time at the Bocaria, the hospital, other children’s centers, and out on street ministry.
Colin and Emily went to a prison to encourage some of the inmates two nights ago, and we were able to go out on street ministry last night as well. We went to a park where many people live in shacks or just sleep on the ground. We gathered together about three kids and starting worshiping and over time about 20 people joined us. We held a 30-45-minute church service where we worshiped, prayed, and spoke what the Lord had put on our hearts. Psalm 27, Matthew 5, and 2 Corinthians 2 were on our hearts as we shared with the people through our translator.
Here is an update on the team members: Ashley loves it here and thinking about marrying a Mozambican and staying here (we’re only kidding…sort of). Ava is having a blast and making us laugh all the time. Blair is spending most of her time with the little girls and in the baby house. Colin is running around 24-7 with the boys playing soccer and basketball, and took his first shower in 4 days last night. Emily is always spending time with the Lord and loves being pushed out of her comfort zone on outreaches. Erik is serving everyone all the time- we are constantly blown away by his heart. Jacob is spreading love everywhere he goes with hugs and words of encouragement. Our team is amazing and we are receiving so much joy by serving with them and watching what the Lord is doing through each of them.
Sorry this has to be short, but we only had about 10 minutes to write this and the internet was especially slow today.
-Blake and Madison
