Salama (Greetings) from Pemba :)

I have been here for two weeks, cannot believe how fast, how deep, how blessed and how intensely amazing it has been. The first two weeks been full of blessing, love, joy and challenges. Papa God is so GOOD ALL THE TIME.

Thank you all for praying for me in my trip, I really felt God’s hand holding me tight. When I left England I felt really week, it was a long flight but good flight :), everything when really smooth. Lord Jesus is so good, in my weaknesses He used me and helped me to minister to few people during my travel, one of them was a very very influential person in Africa.

I am now in Mozambique :) , everyday I cannot believe that I am actually here, God’s presence in so thick in this place. It’s in the air. I cannot stop smiling, God goodness in manifested here all the time. I cannot express enough how much joy fell on me when I arrived in the centre. The kids have all grown so much, couldn’t even recognize some of them at first but they all still remember me even Papa Roland :).

The center is getting bigger, the town is busier, but the strange think is that at the very moment that I arrived I feel like I have been the day before, and the days after day. As if I haven’t left this place. I am so blessed I got to sit in the dirt again, play and love the kids, serve the unloved and find the face of God and the treasures of heaven in the faces of Mozambican.

I have been very busy here from the second day I arrived. In the first few days we had staff meetings and preparing the accommodations and other thinks for the student. We have a very big class, the biggest one so far. I am the house mama/leaders of one house, but also overlooking other two houses which hasn’t got staff member in it and I have lots of other responsibilities too. I feel like God is really stretching and forming my leadership skills like never before.

There has been lots of time when I feel like I am to small to do all this, but it is when we am week He is strong, I love that truth. We hank you Lord for giving all that I need and being all that we need.

I am so excited, this is only the first week of the school and God has already done so much in every single student and staff. There has been many words from Heidi and the leaders saying that this will be the most lay down lover clast yet… most radical lover of Christ. It’s is also a class where there will be most heavenly encounters. Many people are already having heavenly dreams and visions. In class yesterday, I had the most amazing encounter and vision of heaven. I also saw heaven in class yesterday, cannot tell you how beautiful it is.

Beside all these amazing things happening, there is a spiritual welfare going on Iris at the moment. Lots of main leaders suddenly got really sick and there is a heaviness in the spirit. It’s already a lot better but please pray for us.

I am so blessed to be able to serve here in Iris, to love the little children and bring the Love of Jesus Christ to them. On my last trip I spent lots of time, going to the villages and building relationship with the Mozambicans. I am so bless that everyone still remembers me and that we can continue our friendship and fellowship.

Please also pray for wisdom and time management, I hate when I have to say to someone that I can’t help you or I have to go when all I want is to sit in the dirt and serve them. There seems to be never ending things that needs to be done. Pray that I will not be doing to much and have the right priorities.

However even though I am here to serve, and lay everything down for Love. God is blessing me and filling me like never before. It’s not hard to love other when you are loved by the most loving God. One second of God’s anointing is more powerful than anything I know. We are so blessed, loved and protected with the best Papa in the world. Thank you Lord for what you have done and are doing. I am yours.

Thank you all so so much for your support and prayers

Bless you all with heavenly Joy and Peace and Love

Love from Mozambique
