DEMONSTRATING GOD’S LOVE IN A PRACTICAL WAY
Almerante
One of the most creative kid we have at the Center of Hope. With amazing art skills, we are so excited to see what the Lord has in store for him. Please keep him in your prayers as he is one of the special kids at the center. Before his mother passed away, he contracted HIV. Unfortunately, his viral load has substantially increased since his last check-in. We are doing all that we can to keep him healthy and we rest assured that God is in control of this situation.
Church Outreach
This past week, our church in Chibuto started an outreach specific for the elderly in our village. These widows have been abandoned even by their own family members. Sometimes this is a result of nearby witch doctors telling the family to abandon the elderly and other times it’s a result of the family having no means of transportation to reach the elderly.
They carry a lot of burdens from being older and having to have to care for every part of themselves. Sometimes they go without food because it is to painful to cook their own food. Other times, they are unable to sleep because their houses are falling apart and the animals, evil spirits, or weather keep them from falling asleep. The church went around and helped some of the elderly clean up their property, make food, and pray with them.
Please keep the elderly in your prayers as they struggle to complete even the simplest life tasks.

Harvest Time
God is opening the doors for us to become self-sufficient! This last month, we harvested over 600 pineapples and one of our corn fields. Many, many hours have been poured into these crops and we are finally getting some return for our labor. When we harvest the corn, we take everything on the field! The corn cobs to be turned into cornmeal and the husks and stalks to be used to feed our livestock (cattle, goats, and sheep!).
School Time
It’s an exciting time for our kids, covid restrictions are no more, Schools are open to operate normally. Kids are returning to school next week and by the grace of God we got materials for this years school year for our kids, we are still in need of school 8 uniforms costing $30 a child let us know if you would like to help.

Northern Mozambique terrorist attacks
Please continue to pray for northern Mozambique. The terrorist are hitting back hard and we need God’s intervention. Thankfully, the joint forces from the Southern African countries and Rwandan Armies have been fighting seeing some progress, but it has not been easy.

They are doing well! The kids are very excited for the new year and have just restarted school. On the first day of school, Issachar had his arm cast removed after injuring himself on a Christmas bike ride with Felito. They are thankful to God for His unending blessings to their family.
