All Nations Mozambique

We entered the year of 2008 with great anticipation and as our family traveled back from Cape Town we were very excited to return home. We looked forward to be with the children and start the New Year. Things did not happened the way we hoped for or planned. Rika spent ten days in hospital, they did several blood tests and in the end they treated her on the strongest possible anti biotic. She is still struggling with her leg and is still walking with crutches.

Luis started living on the streets when he was 6 years old. He survived by stealing, washing cars and guarding cars. He was found on the streets by Heidi Baker and taken to the Iris center in Zimpeto. This is where we met him and saw him grow up. When we came back in Mozambique to start our house for babies Luis joined us. In March he will be living with us for three years. He helps with the babies, outreaches and also running of the ministry. He also attends night school and we were so proud of him when he passed his grade last year. He and his sense of humor always bless teams and visitors that comes here. Please pray for Luis as he serves with us and for his schooling.

The children are doing really well and growing fast. They also speak so much and it is always such a blessing to listen to their remarks. One of the things I enjoy so much is to visit them in their beds before they go to sleep. Each of them have a unique personality and it is so much fun to watch them interact. Idrussi one of the toddlers living with AIDS loves his food and you should not touch his plate of food. Luis, Telma and Idrussi live with AIDS, but they are doing really well and it is not possible to tell they have AIDS. Thank you so much for your support, that makes it possible for us to take care of these children.
