Do see Dawn's blog for details of what the ladies did at Dondo after introducing themselves at the conference.
Dave and I spoke at the first day of the conference - there were 120+ pastor's and mothers. The day started with loud worship, and I mean loud! This was led by an old friend pastor Ezequiel an then when the conference speaking started Pastor Bonga proudly used his new radio clip mic.
The pastors were very keen to hear all that we had to say and ahd many questions including contentious issues such as homosexuality and women in leadership. The mothers were very happty when I gave a biblical argument for women in leadership, as were the pastors with my traditional biblical explanation of homosexuality and a Christian attitude towards homosexual people.
As we came to an end I invited people forward for prayer for healing - everyone came! Dave and I were quite busy for another 50 minutes!
After the conference I met with Pastor Bonga and Boniface to discuss the building and financial needs of Inhamizua and Dondo and the general situation. They are both very opotmistic but the needs are great. YWAM currently send 5600 pounds every two months (some of which we provide) for normal running costs - they really need at least 6000 pounds. I hope to see engineer Mario Tuesday or Thursday.
The living conditions are appalling and yet everyone is so happy and encouraged by our interest and support. Please continue to pray for this vital work and for the nation of Mozambique.
