Mozambique was my first month with my new team Ruach. I had a wonderful time serving beside my new teammates as well as old ones at Beacon of Hope ministry. It was the first time in my life that I had to do hard labor… And I mean it was HARD. Six days of the week we worked in the “garden,” which was more of a mini-field.
We harvested the corn, pulled out weeds, got rid of everything in the way, and planted more crops. All this, in the blazing African sun, but I loved it.
What a beautiful picture of what the body of Christ looks like. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
says,“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
We have no power whatsoever to make something grow; all we can do is go in with a heart of service, and faith that God will bless what we do. We saw that a lot in Mozambique and know that the vegetables, freshly painted rooms, and new curtains are going to bless the boy’s home.
For those of you at home, I want to encourage you to work for Christ even when you can’t see the fruits. Even when you can’t see the fruits God sees the sincerity in your heart. This is what He is looking for. Just love on Him and love on those around you. Be blessed and feel the joy of working hard.
This video was made by my teammate Kathyrn Law, I thought you all would like to see how Mozambique looked.
Enjoy!
