I (Andrea) love to learn...what type of glue works best when working with synthetic materials. HA! I'm not usually a studier/learner, but God has surprised me with a new love of learning Portuguese. Isn't He good? Please pray that we learn quickly and efficiently. Without further ado, as promised, a video of our language professor, Senhor Virgilio! Language study with him has been amazing; we absolutely love him.
One of my favorite writers, N.T. Wright talking about where our focus should lie. Jesus is central to our existence, our flourishing, and our fruit in establishing the Kingdom of God in this world. I inevitably think of Africa, hear Wright's words for the poor and oppressed that are so close to our heart. Jesus is the only solution for the systemic issues that plague Mozambique. If they will only look to Jesus they will see redemption, wholeness, TRUE HUMANITY! We want to be agents of new creation in Africa, showing Jesus to those in most desperate need. He is coming. I can see the dawn on the horizon; it is growing on the faces of Africa's future.
