My duty.

After a pleasant evening spent with friends, my housemate and I come home feeling wide-awake ready for more adventures. We decided that at 10:30pm we would go on a random drive around the Pemba city. Now remember 10:30 is like 1:30am in the west. The city is dead. Everyone is either sleeping or working as night-time guards. However half of them where also sleeping. J The only other people that seemed to be out in the city at the same time where the ladies on the street, and the men picking them up. We saw it happening on nearly every street. Every lady we saw had a client. The city now seemed to be buzzing. It was prime time to come out for one thing.

My eyes where opened. I had to do something. My desire to change this was mixed with this experience, and one ‘working lady’ following me home one day just to chat. I was once reading a speech my grandmother had written to inform all her friends about her time as a missionary. She finished the speech with this quote. ‘Anything we can do to help the folk….is our bounden duty…wouldn’t you feel the same if God has sent you?’ It is my duty to help. It is my duty to stop for the one. It is my duty to put ‘my all’ into what God has set before me.

We are opening the Barraca very soon. I say this but we do still need a team, money, a working door and a few chairs and a table. However I know God is telling me to ‘hurry up!’. I know the need is urgent. I know God is going to provide as needs are set before us. Please do be praying for us daily.

I am currently overseeing the Noviane base as the missionaries who usually do this, are on their break. To remind you this is the base we have for families that used to be homeless. It is such a fun job and I love getting to know everyone there that much more. As well as their neighbours! However, we have had some hard days there recently. We as a family are sticking together and praying each situation trough. Your prayers would also be appreciated!

Some photos are coming but I have just been a bit slow this month!!

Lots of love and prayers to you all! Thank you so much for your love and support! I love knowing my family back home are cheering me on! It makes such a difference.

You are all wonderful.
