Countdown for our trip to Mozambique




Dear friends of “We Love Mozambique”:

We want to say thanks for all who showed your appreciation and affection regarding the dinner show on March 16. 

You can see the video of: "We Love Mozambique Dinner Show":

We started the countdown for our trip to Mozambique. We’ll go on July 3rd, as a team of 5. We ask for your prayers, that we may be a blessing to the local people: Adaia Elizabeth Henriquez and Jessica Maldonado from Brooklyn; Erwin Izeppi, Estela Izeppi and myself, Daniel Martin from Passaic. Juan Carlos Fioretti from Argentina is joining us there and is planning to stay for 3 months.
We will be visiting several churches and connecting with several projects. Among them are:

• Medicine Development Project, ANAMED.
• The Infants Nutrition Project.
• A non for profit association for orphans.
• A preschool, ESPANOR.
• Translation of the Bible in the Takuani language.
• Production and promotion of music and videos.
• Bibles for Mozambique.
• Jesus Film.
• Leadership Training Program SEAN (Study by Extension for All Nations).

We will be holding conferences on family, children, marriage, and leadership in various communities.

We will be taking glasses, musical instruments, speakers, laptops, baby clothes, projectors and DVD players for the Jesus film. Do not start gathering anything without notifying us, because we have limited space and want to optimize the available space.

We need your money donation to buy:
• 2 motorcycles ($ 1,556 each) for pastors Massamba and Goncalves. Both have great responsibilities and are ministering to congregations more than 60 miles far from each other.
• 2 power generators to project the Jesus film ($ 450 each).
• Reconstruction of precarious houses made of mud and straw for widows and orphans ($ 106 each).
·        3 projectors for the Jesus Film ($350 each).
• Bicycles for pastors and community leaders ($ 116 each)
• Registration for 1 year, primary school ($ 50 each).
• Registration for High School, 1 year ($ 106 each).
• Mosquito nets to prevent malaria ($ 5.3 each).
• Blankets for the poor: ($ 12-18 each)
• 1 Bible: ($ 6.95 each)
• Powder milk for orphaned babies ($5.30 each per week)

As you can imagine we cannot cover all needs. But if you think you can contribute for some specific need, please contact us to coordinate the aid. With each contribution, there will be one less person suffering and it is a way we can show the love of Christ in a tangible manner.

Proverbs 19:17 says, “Those who are gracious to the poor lend to the Lord, and the Lord will fully repay them.”

A dream I want you to pray about is to be able to create a data base of orphans (and an institution that will protect it) to help them to get in contact with the people helping them. In this way we may build relationships that extend over time and encourage these children to see the future with hope.
