I've had a lovely time this month posting about our International Family. Sometimes our stories have more of a ministry focus. So I'm introducing a new blog to kinda streamline our ministry updates, and get ministry information available in one place.

This is what the posts looks like:
Good friends care about the things that we care about
I know it’s important to talk about because one of my
dearest missionary friends was chatting with me and asking for updates about
our roof in Chimoio. I looked on-line to see when I posted about the beautiful
new roof being bent over and stripped off of half of one of our buildings.
I’m not excited to post about sad things, however sometimes
the truth is sad. I’m not afraid to weep with those who weep. That said, it not
easy to ask for friends and family to weep with me, but it isn’t fair to
pretend that all is well with my heart when it’s still pretty broken. We have
had beautiful friends and family rally around giving, praying, working and
encouraging us to keep going! Rebuild! More precisely –Re-roof. We still have
needs. If your heart is moved to be generous than shoot me an email. The link to
email us is on both our Ministry webpages :
So here it is the link to my Journal post in the Iris
Chimoio Journal.
It talks a little bit about how I faced this tragic
destruction at the chidlren’s center sitting with Jesus, and even rejoicing! None of
our kids were hurt when a terrible wind and rain storm ripped half of the roof
up, off and over the building. I was seriously overcome with gratitude, and at
the same time a tenacity to see the boys home repaired!
Our team is ‘gung ho’ to go forward. We need to purchase new
heavier material. We have some of the funding in, we have a ways to go for the
heavier material and new wood for the carpentry.
We’re so blessed by the sacrifices friends and family are
making. We love reading the emails telling how people are moved to get
involved, get connected, and give!
We are so blessed by our really big, really International
family!
Lots of love from,
Missionary Momma Mia….It's still me, just more about ministry and maybe less ramblings....
