whats happening this week!

We have eventually started to make the huge number of concrete blocks necessary to build the medical centre at the orphanage, we are all very excited ! We still await the necessary documents for our NGO. One more week they say!
.

Over the next two weeks in Maxixe we will be launching both of our sustainable projects here. Our shop is now finished and looks great, this will be stocked this week and opened next week.

.

Today we introduce our sewing machine project, which every one is very excited about, we currently have four machines, and will bring in the other six later in the year.

.

We are starting a sewing school, bringing in a lady who has a heart to help us to set up the project, which will help bring some of these destitute people out of poverty.
.
Another of our projects here at the Centre in Maxixe is to continue to teach a fourteen week foundation course in their local Shangaan dialect, produced by Emmanuel Press in Nelspruit. This together with the new bibles that we are bringing into the country, in a modern easy to read translation, is what we desperately need here in Maxixe.
.
Armindo and I will be starting to teach the course next Monday night, at the centre to the local church, and to our leaders of the new churches. These leaders will then in turn take the material the same week, and teach it in their own churches.
.
Our other exciting opportunity is to teach the same material to the guys at the local prison. Please pray that we get the opening and opportunities we are looking for there!
.
There is buzz about the place at present, everything is now starting to move forward again. Your prayers are essential to our success here. Please continue to pray for all the projects, and the lovely people we are working with, and that we will be able to make a lasting difference in the place. Thank you for all your amazing support in so many ways. I'll be posting photos next week of all we are doing!
