Howdy Everyone!
Gods plans are greater than the devils schemes!! After the crazy week of going to South Africa, then not going to South Africa we saw God pour out His spirit upon the school and the students. We thought everything was going to be easy after that week. However the devil never stops trying to hinder the good things of God. On Sunday one of our staff members was involved in an accident that almost took her life. The entire school, Mozambicans and internationals alike, banded together in prayer, worship, and praise of our King Jesus as she fought for her life. Gods hand was holding her because she is alive today!! She suffered minor injuries, which is impossible for the type of accident, and she is able to share the amazing testimony of God saving her life! She was allowed to rest on the base for a few days, but we are praying for her to be flown down to South Africa to make sure she gets the best treatment while she heals. All glory be to God and His saving power!
We wanted to share a little about some of our work as staff on the Iris base. I work with the laundry mamas and they are wonderful! They are 10 local mamas who wash the clothes of staff members and some families. It is such a blessing because as staff we do not have time to wash all of our dirty clothes and this is a way to earn money for the mamas. Every morning I get to pray and worship the Lord with them in Portuguese and Makua, the native languages, before they start their work. These mamas are so loving towards all the staff, but they can be feisty some times! They have been so faithful through everything the school has gone through and I know they keep us in their prayers. Here are some pictures of us in the morning.

We also love our color group! It's a group of 13 international Harvest School Students and 9 Mozambican bible students. We do activities together every week, and do evangelism for one weekend. The weekly activities include: kitchen duty where we serve either breakfast or dinner to the entire base, latrine cleaning where we go and scrub the latrines to keep them clean, combined color group dinner when we all eat chicken and chips together, and village immersion when we go into the surrounding village and spend the day with a local mama or pastor. We even get to present a skit in front of the other students portraying the life of a missionary. It has been so wonderful to connect with all of them and hear their stories about where they came from and how they came to know Jesus. They have become our little family of 'brownies'! It has been such a blessing to be around them and live this life and walk with them through these experiences.

Having a quick meeting
Well we are over the halfway mark for the school and we know the Lord has not finished His work here. As long as there is worship, prayer, and praises to His name He will never stop moving in the hearts of His people and the nations! We know our next step right after the school is to the nation of India, and then back to South Africa, but after that the plans are known by our Lord. He is good all the time and we eagerly await where He tells us to go next! We are growing spiritually everyday.
