Mozambique Update

Here's an email I received yesterday updating what the team have been up to already! I also spoke to Dave this morning (he called for Zeke's birthday) and he is very excited about what's been happening!

Just a quick update from our Bethel Mozambique team to say hello and
thank you for all your support and prayers! We arrived in Mozambique
yesterday after some lengthy but wonderful travel together- much fun
and bonding and ministry as well from flight to flight! We are all
healthy, happy and well adjusted.
The solid three weeks of rain they’ve been experiencing in Mozambique
stopped as soon as we arrived, and we’ve certainly been enjoying the
beautiful African sun-you can join us in agreeing that the sun will
shine throughout our whole time here!
We have a wonderfully musically inclined team of such worshippers and
we have already seen the life and joy and refreshing brought to the
people and even the land itself as we worship together! It’s also a
great ministry tool- the universal language indeed!
We’ve already had some beautiful spontaneous times of ministry in
local villages where we have enjoyed playing, singing and dancing with
the people and children, praying for anyone who is sick and rejoicing
as people who came to us saying they had pain throughout their whole
body light up as they report all the pain is gone. One woman asked for
prayer because she wanted to be free of her alcohol addiction, and it
was such a privilege to watch Jesus lift the shame and heaviness off
her, and minutes later to see her leading others in songs of worship
with such light radiating from her eyes! One man was completely healed
of the pain and constriction in his chest—and then those who received
healing began praying with us for others who needed healing! We got to
prophesy life and leadership into a couple of the men and afterwards
you could see in their disposition that they were rising up in their
identities as protectors and leaders among their community.
We’ll be ministering at the clinic, prisons and churches in the days
to come- teaching, praying for the sick, feeding the people. We
appreciate your continued prayers for ministry that yields lasting
fruit, people to come into the kingdom of His marvelous light, and
radical transformation in the lives of us all- our team, the
missionaries here, as well as the people of Mozambique!

Thank you so much for you love and prayers!
Bethel Mozambique Team
