Mozambique Pastors Conference

Here we are again ... behind on our blog!   In November, we headed into Mozambique for our Annual Pastors Conference.   Our theme for the conference was Steadfastness.   

The sessions dealt with 

- God's steadfastness

-Steadfastness in our Christian Walk 

-Steadfastness in Prayer

-Steadfastness in Trails

-Steadfastness in Preaching

-Steadfastness in Shepherding

-God's power to keep you Steadfast

 The week before the conference started we helped two local churches with a water tank and stand.  We are going to let pictures and a few videos "speak a thousand words" ... enjoy!

 

 

 

 

After the tank was up in Matsilele, the guys worked on the drip irrigation system.  

 

We have published a small video clip from each teaching session on our mission FB page.  You can click here and then go to the posts from the first part of November. 

 

We were also able to be apart of the baptisms that took place.  

We all walked over 2 km across the very dry Limpopo River to a small pool of water on the other side.  

Mark offered to carry Marky for his mom ... that was a long and sweaty walk for Mark :)  

 To God Be The Glory!!!

Bible Study in Mentz

We continue to go each Tuesday to Mentz and have Bible study at Meriam's house.  We have a core group of  7 who faithfully attend but we can have on any week up to 16.   We continue to work through the Firm Foundations Chronological teaching and we have just now started the New Testament.   We are now starting to see that what God said about the Deliverer throughout the Old Testament is coming true in the New Testament.  We continue to pray that these ladies and young men will have a true understanding of the Gospel and become a light of Truth in their homes and community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another School Year has Begun

September 7th was the first day of another school year of the Raley/Hixon Homeschool.  Luke is now in 10th grade, Jay is in 9th and Noah is in 12th.  We are officially a High School! 

Kim is on her third year teaching here and she continues to be a blessing to our families.   She has worked hard making some changes and getting ready for this new year.   Even though we are only two weeks into school it looks as though its going to be a great year.
