Mozambique Report

Greetings friends,

I just have a few minutes left in this internet office to give you a quick report.

First of all please pray for Heidi and Rolland. Another crisis today. This time with Pastors in training. Five of them were expelled from the Bible School because of bad attitudes. Heidi was really broken and could hardly speak. They also are being hit financially and she has so much pressure. Meanwhile, Rolland is trying to recover from a couple of mild strokes. He has slowed down greatly and is not himself. I believe I will have another chance to see him and to pray for him. Pray for a miracle.

Also keep praying for us and for Donna. Brenda has been under a lot of pressure without me home to carry the burdens. Part of the pressure is seeing Donna suffer so much. We are needing much prayer for Donna and Paul and for ourselves.

Meanwhile there are many wonderful things happening here in Africa. A great outreach last week in the bush. A precious young deaf and dumb teen-ager (I think) was healed and heard and spoke for the first time in his life. A church is being planted. This was their second trip in a row to this village.

There have been wonderful sessions with the team. All fifteen are developing their prophetic gifts and the unity and harmony is unprecedented. They are all willing to defer to others and have such hungry hearts for God.

On Sunday we visited a wonderful church not too far away. I got to preach to a very responsive crowd. The team did skits and sang, but the greatest singing was from the people. They were amazing. I'd love to bring them to the States to sing for us. I can't wait until our part of the transfer of wealth takes place. We will start our Chicago Sending Center and bless missions like never before.

Another need here is for Michelle Perry, our one-legged missionary in the Sudan. She is here for refreshing and has many needs for help and finances there. She has taken in over 80 orphans in just a few months. What an overwhelming thing, except for God. I wish we could do much more for these amazing missionaries.

Gotta go - times up,

We love you - please pray! Thanks!

Ben and team in Mozambique, Africa
