Upon our return home from Mozambique we can share with great enthusiasm an update report on the building of the school under our Hope for the Children of Africa banner.
The school is taking form at an unbelievable rate. Walls rising from the ground to form a sign of love and hope for the hundreds of children each year that come to broaden their minds and faith at the Cambine campus.
It is our prayer and vision that the school will be completed for the beginning of the school year in September. Over 2,000 students study on this rural campus placed on high dry ground between the two major flood plains of this great country. Bishop Joao Somane Machado's grandfather was the tribal King of this area when the missionaries came seeking a place for a hospital, school and church. The war nine years ago devastated the buildings and infrastructure. The recovery is well on its way and through your love and the love of others the needed help is being provided. Bishop Machado's grandfather took a piece of ivory, which was the symbol of that day and marked the bounds of his gift to the missionaries and then told his family that they must move to another place near that area, so the missionaries could begin their work. The King asked only one question, "Do you come in peace to help my people?"
Here we are - decades later - still saying to the people of Cambine, "We come in peace to work with your people to build a better today and tomorrow in the name of Jesus Christ." The prayerful dream continues because you care.
