From Neil McMahon. Neil and his wife, Barb, are leading up this group of 10 from OHC who will go learn, serve, and love alongside our partner, Food for the Hungry of Mozambique.
Howdy from Beira, Mozambique,
As you know, we landed safely yesterday evening and had a full night of sleep in a recumbent position! It does alot for the soul to be
rested. We really enjoyed seeing some of our friends again. Pastor
Tomas and Halkeno send their regards.
After cleaning up a little, we joined Halkeno at an International Fellowship where we ate and
worshipped together. It was a very informal group who spoke English
and were composed of mostly missionary couples and NGO(Non Government
Organization) workers. Doug did a great job with the devotion. (They
were a little worried as I told them he usually spoke for 2 - 3 hours,
and they believed me. One of the leaders made a special mention to
him as he started to keep it SHORT.)
Today was , as Barb put it, a very cultural day. we went to the
markets, both craft and food, and experienced the accompanying sound,
sights and smells. One of the Food for the Hungry workers invited us
to his home for a snack. He was so proud to show us his family and
home. We prayed to bless his home. The neighborhood kids gathered
around and dang for us, Moz impromptu style. It was great. A good
evidence for the relationships we have been building. Madeira was the
translator for the first trip 3 years ago. That is the picture
attached.
Tonight we get to watch the USA vs Ghana world cup FOOTBALL match with
our hosts at the guest house. We bought some snacks and sodas as only
Barb could arrange.
Tomorrow, Doug , Karla and myself will lead team to different churches
to greet them in the Name of Christ for our family at Orchard Hill.
We will also get to share a bit and could use your prayers. Then off
to Gorongosa in the afternoon.
In Him, neil
