July 23-29

MOZAMBIQUE—Uplift Christian Academy in Mozambique (CAM), preparing to begin classes in two weeks. The security upgrade construction continues as well as cleaning, organizing and preparing for a new academic year. Pray for the needed teachers, especially a second grade teacher. Next week the Gaunts, a couple from the UK, are going for three weeks to help out at CAM and with church ministries. Pray for future ministry opportunities wherever the Lord calls them.

Pray for Dinis, Nelson and Paito, ECC coordinators in the northern provinces of Zambezia and Nampula. Recent reports suggest there could be some problems and issues that need to be addressed, and it is difficult when the OMS team is more than 1,500 miles away. Pray that the Lord will continue to open up doors of ministry in the more than 25 churches that have been planted in the north during the past three years.

Continue to pray for the seminary building construction. Although most is finished, there are some items that continue to linger and create difficulties. Pray that the company who was supposed to install the elevator will contact the OMS office and explain the problems they are having as well as solutions to get the elevator working. Fortunately, they don’t need the elevator for the seminary building to function.

Praise the Lord that English classes were taught in June and July with around 100 students in several levels. Pray that the Maputo City Church will grasp a vision to continue these classes, which have a great potential to reach the middle class of Maputo.

With a smaller missionary staff, pray for the OMS team as they regroup and discuss where they need to focus their efforts in all the ministries.
