Last Post from Beira

Today has been a rewarding day. Having got our flights confirmed we were able to go to the conference with peace of mind.

The worship was fun with Pastor Ezekiel his usual exuberant self. Apparently the teaching was much appreciated and we rounded off the conference iwth a visit from about a dozen local government officials.

I'm sorry posting pictures has been quite difficult but when I get back to England I will put all my pictures on the internet and anyone will be able to look at them. I do hope you will do so as they will convey something of what we have experienced.

We went for a final coffee with Simao, Isaque and Isabel this evening and they told us how imporant it is that epople visit from England. For them it demonstrates our love for them and is as important as the money we give. They felt the time we spent with the children and the Pastors was invaluable. It is wonderful to be appreciated so much, and humbling.

We value all your prayers and look forward to sharing with you on our return.

Please come back soon for the link to the photographs - hopefully they will be posted by Saturday lunchtime - provided we're not still stuck in some airport or other!

Wonderful tales and fabulous reflections. Thank you all for all that you have shared through your blogs - I have loved reading them each day. As you leave tomorrow with heavy hearts and sadness from your goodbyes I pray you would be able to reflect with gladness on all of Gods glory that you have seen there. There are things you will feel you have left undone, but that simply leaves the door open for others to visit and continue the work. God bless you all for all your service there, and I pray for smooth, swift trouble free flights home. Can't wait to see you all on Sunday! Lots of love Coz xx

As a former member of St. Mats Following this story has given me a great amount of pleasure. I am delighted that the project is still ongoing and will be, I suspect for a long time. This is a project that I feel I can support and I will continue to pray for it and all members of the church who take part. God bless you all Barry Love
