I really sensed that when I
returned from the Central and South America adventure it would not be long
before I set off again..and next month (16th/17th May) I
will be going back to Pemba in Mozambique, where Iris Ministries is based.
I have been accepted to staff Iris’ ‘Missions
school’ which will mean helping look after and lead over 300 international
students who have come to be trained in cross cultural working in a biblical
way including various ways of showing God’s love practically. I’ll get to live with a group of students as
well as eat rice and beans again – hurrah!
I’m happy that some of my Latin America team will also be staffing so it
will be great to work with them again.
When I applied to staff the
directors wanted to know where I’d like to go on outreach after the school is
finished…I simply said ‘please keep me in Africa’….their response: ‘we’re
sending you to Sierra Leone and maybe Guinea’ which are in West Africa….the
last time I was in Sierra Leone was in 1979 (!) where my parents were
missionaries… some may say a coincidence…I prefer Godincidence! After this I am planning to travel to Cape
Town to hang out with the ‘other Liz’ from my Latin America team for a rest..and
then back to Mozambique in September for the second missions school.
I’m not sure how much internet
connection I’ll have whilst in Mozambique so apologies in advance if the
updates are not regular…your prayers and support are once again very gratefully
received. Thank you for reading and
being interested! God bless you all lots
