Love Gift from Jesus

It's raining outside. If feels so warm and cozy here… not long before I land to Pemba where is always sunny and warm. I leave to Pemba on Wednesday afternoon.

I will be joining the amazing Mercy Ministries team. I will be working with the ladies there, mostly widows and abandon laddies. I will be doing some admin, discipleship and helping with practical things too. After I settle in with mercy, I am hoping to do some street ministry.

I will be in Mozambique for about two and half months. In mid December, Andrew and I plan to go to  America, Knoxville for Christmas and also to get ready for the wedding. We are aiming the wedding to be on the 2nd of February... After the honey moon, we are planing to spend few months in  the states before we head back to Mozambique to serve there :D. So many excited things are happening … We both don't really have any money for the flight tickets and the wedding yet, but God will provide all our needs as He does. We are so excited to see How the Lord will make impossible possible. Can't wait to post a blog post about that when it happens.

So, this is it! The last two years I have been going in and out the country for short mission trips. But this is it. I am leaving home.  There is a part of me wants to stay here, be papa's and mama's girl, be home with my little brother and sister. Have midnight feasts and dancing parties with my little sister. Have late nights with my little brother. 

It's a lie, If I say it's all easy .. but there is a voice calling me, there is a hand pushing me gently, there are dreams I need to reach, faces I need to love, there are pictures that my heart and spirit sees, and my physical eyes hunger to see. I am going to do what my Lord fashioned me to do! Nothing can stop me from moving and reaching the visions that He placed in my heart. 

I know that it's really hard for my parents to let me go, but 'Mum and Dad, you both are fully realising me with blessing, support and love'.

So I shall leave home with joy and peace … I am going home to Pemba where my heart is and where my love is... I love you Andrew!

My heart is bursting with joy, expectations and hope. I wanted do this in Mozambique for a long time and It is truly happening :D. It feels like a dream.

Thank you all so much for your care, love, support and prayers.

I could't  have done this without you. 

With lots of Love

Hello everyone!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last posted something in the blog. I will try my best to update it more frequent. I am on holiday in the Isle of Wight with my beautiful family right now :). It is truly a love gift form the Lord that I can be here right now. Thank you Lord!

I am working one writing a new blog post right not, but before I post the next one. Here a part of the newsletter that wrote sometime after my last post, it was about the last few weeks of the school and about wonderful thinks like getting engaged ^^.  I thought it would fill the gap a bit… here it is.

Greetings and love from Mozambique. 

It's been almost a month since my last blog post. Thank you so much for continuing to pray and loving me. It means so much to me to have your support.  I'm doing really well here. The last month been amazing, filled with challenges, lessons as usual but also filled with blessings and surprises. Papa is so good. We have such a good Father. 

Last month, I got a huge privilege to help in the woman conference. Most of the ladies were church leaders or pastor's wife. The vision of the conference is to see these beautiful ladies find more of their identity in Christ and their purpose. We saw so much breakthrough, healing and revelations. It was so beautiful and spirit lifting to see these ladies encounter God in such a powerful way and to see them carry more security in who they are in Christ. I really hope that I can do more of than during my time here. 

The mission school is divided into small colour groups. Kayla, another staff and I are leading 'Wild Pink' colour group. There are about 20 students in our group, both Mozambican and International. Two weeks ago we went to a weekend outreach. This village was about 8 hours from Pemba. We had lots of people come with our group; the medical team, many visitors, Iris kids and some long-term missionaries. The Lord did so much, so many people received Jesus, we saw so many supernatural healing.
