We are happy to be able to email you at this time. We know that in the UK it is still not easy, battling Covid-19 and dealing with lockdown. So far here it seems that the virus isn't hitting us as hard, whether that's due to the weather or there are so many other illnesses that people have to tackle here, Covid-19 isn't much different to anything else. The older school years are back and we are hoping that all school years will be back to school as normal next year and the rules for Churches will be a little more relaxed. Churches here like to have new year's celebrations but unfortunately they are not allowed this year so we are adjusting to this.
Over the last few months, through the BMS appeal Liz was able to continue supporting PEPE teachers with a small financial gift and workbooks for PEPE children for 5 months. Sergio was able to help give out basic food kits to 500 people in need and next month the aim is to give out another 500 to others, which will really help them especially at Christmas time when prices can go up. Sergio also visited a place called Dombe where BMS plan to contruct a mill to help the community, after the destruction from the cyclone. Due to Covid-19, this took a set back but next year it will go ahead. Please see our blog for more information.
Liz has finished her clinical hours for the diploma course in play therapy that she is doing. She hads two case studies to finish and she can hand in her portfolio. She has also been training the PEPE coordinators in safeguarding, which has been really positive.
We would ask if you could pray for us in these ways:
- for the health of our family and also our BMS team
- for protection as we travel for a much needed holiday on Monday for two weeks
- for peace in the North of Mozambique where there is fighting - please see https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-54877202. It is hard sometimes to know the real facts of what is going on but what we know is that we need to pray for the area. Just so you know, it is nowhere near to us so we are not at risk.
Many thanks,
God bless,
Liz, Sergio, Chloe and Joshua
