July ’08 Racers Safe in Africa

Hello from Southern Africa!  This is Stephanie (the July ’08 squad leader) and I just wanted to give a quick update to all the July ‘o8 parents and supporters who read the blogs as the racers internet access will be scarce over the next few weeks.  We all arrived safely to South Africa and immediately traveled up to Mozambique.  The 80-90 degree weather was a pleasant shock to our systems after witnessing snow in London only 20 hours before!

Kiatera, 5-Alive and Bold are working with HIM (Harvest International Ministries) in Southern Mozambique, and Pi, JOY and Gracers are partnering with a South African who runs an orphanage further North.  Both teams will be living out of their tents in the bush (countryside) and will be church planting, providing training for pastors and working with kids.  The Holy Spirit is moving like crazy through this country and I know each individual will be a part of this incredible revival that is taking place in the hearts of Mozambiquans!  Please pray for miracles!   

3 racers stayed back in South Africa for the week to seek medical attention for various reasons.  We have already been in to see the doctor and all are on the mend!  Praise the Lord that this all happened so quickly.  But please continue to pray for healing and for the health of everyone in Mozambique.  

Thank you for your prayers and I will keep you as informed as possible.

Blessings,
stephanie
