Little film...

We have moved!

We have moved into the new baby house and we have our first new little one! Her name is Margarida and she is fabulous! The first day we got her she was dehydrated and very weak. However, just over 24 hours went by and she was sitting up and playing with the others, feeding herself and there were no tears. She is simply amazing and is settling in well. The photo shows our three newest who came in these last two weeks. 

We have been learning this new of role overseeing two houses, (the toddler house and baby house) but God has so much Grace and is teaching us well. We have placed a beautiful Mozambican lady in charge of all our Tia’s and the wellbeing of the houses. She has come along side us to help and assist. It is so wonderful to see the locals raised up and basically taking over our jobs! They won’t even need us soon!

Street ministry is coming into a new season now. Our fantastic mission school students are going home so we haven’t got their help each week. We are quite excited about what God is going to do with this. It shall be more of a quiet time with the girls were we can have more conversation. If you remember before we were washing feet and doing pedicures. Now we are just going to show up and ‘be there’. God has given us the word faithfulness. We need to be faithful to these girls each week. We want them to know that at least twice a week we are going to be in the same place at the same time. If they need help, need food or just need a chat, we will be there!

This week I opened the barraca for bible study and two girls showed up. One I know well, she was a prostitute that still gets drunk and hangs out with the wrong crowd. The other is very pure and innocent, has money and a beautiful 6 year old son. I just had to laugh as I had these two very different girls sitting in front of me. But God made it work. The one who is very ‘well to do’ came with lots of questions which we had fun answering. Then the girl who used to sell herself for £7 a night was laughing and jumping around as she helped me with a drama. The girls were not intimidated by each other. We were just family together studying the word of God, knowing that God loves us all the same.

As I am coming into this new season with the Barraca and the baby house, prayers would be very welcomed! Please do also email me if you have any news, testimonies or prayer requests. I love staying in touch with everyone!
