Michael was able to get through on the phone this morning. They arrived safely in Jabula yesterday. Lou gave a slide show to the locals of photographs of THEM from previous years and they were absolutely thrilled! They met with some of the teachers they'd met in previous years (who'd become Christians) and they asked for 3 more of the "Proclaimers" that the team brought last year. ("Proclaimers" are the solar-powered machines that play an audio version of the Bible in the local languages.)
Today was a sight-seeing day (traveling over 2 hours on the worst roads you've ever seen doesn't really qualify as "a day of rest", does it?! ha!). They drove to the Southeast corner of Mozambique, called Punto de Aura (sp? I couldn't quickly find it on a map --sorry!). He said it was the MOST beautiful beach he'd ever seen -- huge and with towering bluffs.
Tonite they return to Jabula and will have an evening service with the locals again. It seems the locals have really taken an interest in keeping their town clean -- the area is "100 times cleaner" than they'd ever seen it before. (Maybe they now have more hope? 
)
Michael asked prayer specifically for a meeting they'll be having on Wednesday with Charlie Lechner (the IMB missionary in the area) and Craig Whitcomb (the new Samaritan's Purse missionary they met on the plane). They pray this will be a great connection for all the local pastors there -- that God would be glorified and they would all be blessed as the Body of Christ works together.
He'll try to call again in a few days. Blessings! -- Christine
