Nhambiho Tres

The first of our new church plants is now and up and running. You can see it in the background of the photo. We had a great time of celebration at the opening evening. Around 200 local people came together - we took a bold step and fed everyone! It was great to see the new Christians working together, busy cooking up huge panfuls of beans and rice and serving everyone.

We showed the Jesus film again and the night went on late, with Filimon leading the people in worship. We have just had our first Sunday morning meeting with new people coming in, and John taking up his new position looking after the new flock. He has a great programme in place, and has been busy teaching the new believers already.

We have just purchased another piece of land and work has begun to clear the area, ready to start building our next church, this time at Xigiane.

Please don't stop praying for us - it's exciting work, but its hard too! Sometimes it feels like everything that can be thrown at you is being thrown at you! We need and value your prayers as we take this area for Christ.
