Monday 8th June 2020

We have received the following email Prayer Letter from our Link Missionaries in Mozambique.  We hope that Liz and Sergio might be able to send us an audio greeting on next Sunday's service - we'll see if the tecjnology co-operates!  What the prayer letter does remind us of is the global nature of this pandemic.

May you know God's blessing and joy in all you do today.

Dear all,

We bring you all greetings from Beira. We hope that you are in good health! We are doing well and into another month of quarantine. The President has extended it until the end of June and we will see what happens then. We currently have had 352 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 2 deaths.  We are sure this doesn’t represent the number of people who actually have the virus, and the number has increased considerably over the last week. However, with number of cases elsewhere, we give thanks to God that this number is still low and we are in good health.

This week we have started a new project, giving some financial support to PEPE teachers, who are not receiving any contributions from PEPE parents and therefore the Churches don’t have money to pay them. The PEPE coordinators have also prepared some work for children to do while they are at home and BMS has been able to provide the costs of printing these, from the donations that have been given. The plan is to do this every month for the next few months while PEPE are closed. They were very appreciative of this support when we gave it to them this week. Thank you to all those who have donated to the appeal as this helping people to put food on their table, and for children to be able to continue their learning at home.

Sergio is also working on another project that we are awaiting permission, as well as other team projects to support people during this difficult time. It is great to be able to help and do what we can.

As a family we are doing well. The children are in a rhythm of doing school in the mornings, playing with the puppies, eating lots, making a mess, etc. We are making the most of time as a family, but we are looking forward to getting back to ‘normal’.

Look out for our next prayer letter that will be out very soon with more information about life right now for Mozambicans.

Take care, God bless, and stay safe.

Love Liz, Sergio, Chloe and Joshua
