hi prayer team

thanks SO MUCH for your prayers - we made it! it was amazing in so
many ways. there were snags, but nothing ruffled our spirits, we took
everything in stride. We could feel God's hand on us by the peace and
joy and unity we had/have. the house we stayed in last night at j'berg
was like a bed and breakfast - a real treat to get pampered on our
first night. tonight we sleep with mosquito nets :) but it's really a
wonderful place here, too. i dont' have time to write much, must get
to bed and continue to be diligent to acclamiate to the new time zone,
our day starts early tomorrow!

our prayer and worship times have been very sweet. we anticipate great
things with God here. and much individual stretching and growing.
people have shared personal hopes and dreams, and struggles, and
missing family. i wish i had time to recount some specifics, you'd be
blessed and encouraged too... hmmm.. what can i share r4eal quick...
well everything from God producing a lost boarding ticket 'out of thin
air' to putting expectations in some for raising the dead. not
kidding. we really thinking anything can happen and we're ready to be
available :)

tomorrow we are goign to tour the ministry sites adn then go into the
city of beira to live in the language, the culture, start to do some
shopping, eat seafood by the beach as we talk about the specific
ministry/service roles each of us will be playing. more training and
team building tomorrwo ngiht.

ugh, this still feels so generic, i wish i had time to share my heart,
but need to be disciplined with mhy time. i love and miss you all -
you are my family. when people are calling home to their spouse, kids,
etc i am longing for the internet so i can get thsi out to you. thansk
so much for your kind love and support... your are my family in this
adventure and i'm happy to get to bring you all with ;)

praying for God's great work in each of you right where you are too -
i'll write again soon,
jen
