    Dear Pastors & Prayer Partners:

    Greetings in the Name of Jesus. Br. Wynand with orphan baby.

    We received this report from Br. Wynand, our missionary in Mozambique as he shares his hea

    and burden for souls to be saved: FOR THOUGH I PREACH THE GOSPEL,I HAVE NOTHING TO GLORY OFOR NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME; YEA, WOE IS UNTO ME, IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 1COR.9:16KJB.

    My heart is burdened when I see and hear about all the suffering and devastation in the worltoday. Earthquakes; Volcanic eruptions; Severe weather conditions snow blizzardflooding, mudslides; Epidemic outbreaks of viruses and flu strains not heard of before; All th

    above is causing death and destruction, taking human lives by the thousands; Our prayers g

    out to everyone who has been touched in some way by this chaos, losing loved ones, sufferin

    personally, and even to those who volunteer to help the needy in times of crisis.

    Mozambique, Africa has experienced much flooding over the past two months. The Limpop

    River overflowed its banks and the normally 70 meter wide water canal is now 10 kilometer

    wide. All the people farming on the flood plains, including people from our churches, have lo

    all their crops.

    Our plans to go to Cahorra Bassa have also been delayed due to heavy rains in the North. B

    Matthews, our contact up there informed me that the rivers are in flood and our campsite will b

    inaccessible at this time. He suggested that I contact him again in a few weeks time, to get a

    update on conditions in that area, and also on the roads and weather, to see if we can make

    through the flooded areas (roads).

    The VERY GOOD NEWS is that we have started transporting the 5000 Bibles donated to u

    We will distribute 1500 Chichewa and 1500 Shona Bibles in the Cahorra Bassa area. The oth

    1500 Portuguese Bibles can be distributed all over Mozambique, and the remaining 50

    Shangaan Bibles in the Xai-Xai area.

    Br. Johan and Sister Lana from South Africa, will be spending more time in Mozambique to hel

    the Ministry as we plant more new churches, and do more evangelistic outreaches. Our Team

    always include 3rd year students from the Bible College, for ministry outreaches, to help themin practical ways to perform their ministry for Gods Work when they graduate. Many studenare unsure where ministry opportunities are going to lead them, and we help train, and get them

    involved in soul winning, discipleship training, and church planting.

    Our Proclaimer Bible Studies in Tsonga language. The churches are very excited about th

    study program. Students have to write a test after each module is completed. Each student wi

    receive a certificate. There are 14 modules. I have handed the Proclaimer Bible Study project

    Pastor Noe, he will gain more experience with training, planning outreaches in the villages, an

    establish Proclaimer Bible Study groups in those areas.

    Proclaimer :

    A Proclaimer is an instrument like a tape recorder donated to missionaries for th

    spreading of the Gospel around the world. Every country eventually will have these portab

    solar powered machines, with gospel preaching, teaching tapes, in their own language for tharea. Pastors will use these Proclaimers in their villages to reach the lost for Christ.
